"Push your boundaries, that's what they're there for."

I can't explain how much this books gets me. It's still the best and a good way to start a CH book. I was 18 years old when I first read this and I'll be 28 years old in 5 months time. Been 10 years since I read this but it still made me ugly cry. My heart is broken. I love Julia. It made me want to cherish my own mother and be grateful for her. My life wouldn't be what it is right now if it wasn't for her.

Will and Lake is the type of relationship I aspire to be. Through ups and downs, they're fated for each other. Loving someone so hard you had to let her go so she can focus on her priorities. Too much love it's overflowing and can't contain itself. It's not even the student-teacher relationship that's important here. It's the emotional rollercoaster that you felt throughout reading the book. One second you focus on the happy date between the couple then get crashed by that student-teacher realization then when you thought it's the main plot, it's not. It's the
cancer
. I knew it was coming but that didn't stop me from still feeling the pain. 

This book taught me so much. Everything Julia wrote in her letter is not only for Layken and Kel but it was for all of us. Thank you, Colleen Hoover. It's everything.
