I am personally a little disappointed. I definitely thought this book was going to be a lot sadder and a lot more heartfelt than it was. I also feel like the entire ending is so unnecessary. I get that this book is centered around the fact that they didn't have enough time together but I feel like him dying just wasn't needed. I do like how easily this book flowed though. The way it was written and how short the chapters were made it super easy to read. It was enjoyable and I liked reading it but I'm not overly in love with the characters or the plot or anything like that. It's just okay.
