This book sends a message that we all have to make very important decisions sometimes, it shows that your loved ones are always there for you. The characters all stick together, and supprt eachother as they wait to see the outcome. All of the characters made me feel as if they had such love for eachother, and that they would be there to help eachother out no matter what.
I loved that there was romance in this book between Mia and her boyfirend Adam. I loved how the author put in memories of the happy times that Mia had when she was living. Everything about this book just had me captivated.
I would definitely reccomend this book to someone. It will have you in tears, yet make you feel so happy. I felt as if I was reliving the book, I was Mia trying to make such a hard decision. When I finally finished the book, I was a little upset, I wanted to continue reading it! Gayle Forman did an absolutely great job!
