4.0

My general feeling about this book:
“And then, just like that, my heart broke. My face crumpled, my composure went and I held him tightly and I stopped caring that he could feel the shudder of my sobbing body because grief swamped me. It overwhelmed me and tore at my heart and my stomach and my head and it pulled me under, and I couldn’t bear it. I honestly thought I couldn’t bear it."
My best friend recommended me this book. Every time we say this book in a store, she told "You NEED to read this, it's so beautiful!".
And oh my god, it's even more that beautiful. It's sad, realistic, funny, heartwarming, ...
I read the ending of this book on the train. Which was a very bad idea, because I just couldn't contain my tears.
You're now probably thinking: 'Why the hell are your giving 4 stars then?!'. Well, because I didn't really liked the start of the book. I almost gave up with this book, because it was sooo sloooow. The first 100 pages were ... not boring... but not excited enough either.
But otherwise, I really recommend this book!!
“Push yourself. Don’t settle. Wear those stripy legs with pride. And if you insist on settling down with some ridiculous bloke, make sure some of this is squirreled away somewhere. Knowing you still have possibilities is a luxury. Knowing I might have given them to you has alleviated something for me.”
