I loved this book. The cover is a little deceiving...it gives me a light easy vibe. However, a lot of it was actually pretty sad and heavy (I hate using that word in this situation, no pun intended at all... Just all of the other words I tried using didn't convey the correct feeling). It's so true that something so as small to you could be EVERYTHING to someone else. You never know the impact you can truly make on a person.
I listened to the audio and loved the narrators. It was long (over 15 hours) but totally worth it.

But so much of it was relatable in some ways, and I loved Marley & Georgia's journeys to true happiness and love (love from others and themselves). Emerson's storyline was heartbreaking, but I loved the good she did and how sweet and generous she was even after everything she had gone through.I listened to the audio and loved the narrators. It was long (over 15 hours) but totally worth it.
