 I wanted to read this book solely because I wanted to see the movie, I wanted to see the movie mostly because they used Story of My Life by One Direction in the trailers. I prefer to read books before watching their adaptations. I didn’t even look at the synopsis before reading. The main characters were charming and lovable. The story was a bit predictable but I’m also an adult and not the target demographic. I loved the descriptions of Ireland and the scenery. I could relate to Finley in her experience of going to Ireland to find something, or herself.

It is a very faith based book. There is a great deal of conversation about god. At first I was unsure if I would be able to get through the book because of my own personal struggles growing up with religion but then I was able to enjoy the role faith played in the story. Finley’s struggles with grief are heartbreaking but the people who care for her and help her in processing her grief are inspiring.
