This was one hell of a book. I went into it with no clue what it was about which just made it all the more impactful.

Reynolds has managed to create a book that is simultaneously one of the most beautiful and saddest books that I have ever read. I loved every minute of reading this book even if I had tears streaming down my face for at least 75% of this book.

This books is a razor-sharp exploration of grief as well as focusing on living, truly living and nods to last moments.

The numbering of the chapters in reverse was so clever as we got a countdown but somehow you also manage to forget that is what's happening.

This book contained a lot of surprises considering it seemed to have a pretty clear direction.
It was clear from very early in this book that we wouldn't get a traditionally happy ending but I still really hoped that would be the case. Damn if I didn't want Mr Oklahoma to sweep in saying he had found a way to keep Q alive!
