I liked it. It was good, it was sad it was average, predictable, sweet and heartbreaking. I thought this was going to be something else when I went into it. But alas, it had vibes and the perfect balance between the heartbreaking and the heart warming. You have to go into a book about terminal illness expecting certain things and nothing in this book veered away from those expectations for me. I agree with my friend who said it was quite basic and yet I feel I enjoyed it for what is was. It reminded me a lot of All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven which I also liked. I just like these books where nothing remarkable happens. Just regular people living their lives. 

I had a good time but I probably won’t remember much in a couple months. I’m glad I read this and I can finally tell people I have. Cute book, had all the feels. 4 Stars.
