At that point Alice was rightfully PISSED with Holly, with their boss and with her whole ducking job - could you for a moment imagine, how such a mood would influence the editorial team of only ten or so people? But, with this book both of them always end end up clambering all over my lap to make sure they are both able to see the pages. But I've been widowed for 2 1/2 years right now--I was 27 and my husband 28 when he died--and from a grief standpoint and as representation of a believabe human experience, I only give it a C.

She is focused on these notes, and mostly we see her evenings on these nights, where she obsessively counts down to midnight which allows her to open the letter. Sublimely happy in their relationship, she is heartbroken when a brain tumour takes her beloved before turning 30. After around 60% of the book I had to just push myself forward, because it got even more ridiculous, repetitive and absolutely childish. I don't ask the universe anymore why 20 years long of relationship had to ended so abruptly like that. During Holly’s healing journey, she also reflects on their relationship and some of the things she wishes she’d done differently.

I don't think there was anything wrong with the book per se, except that it was too long, but somehow, nothing about the book stuck with me.

I feel like the story stayed at the same kind of level throughout the whole entire book and nothing was really grabbing my attention for long enough to want to sit down and read a lot at one time. A Young Adult contemporary rom com about two girls who start as rivals but after a twist of events, end up falling for one another - at least they think so.As the notes are gradually opened, the man who knows Holly better than anyone sets out to teach her that life goes on. So that was one of the moments where I almost dropped my kindle and was rolling my eye like never before; because Holly listed some of her ideas on what kind of jobs a person with a high school diploma and a secretary job experience could get (also listing why they would not be an option).

For fans of Becky Albertalli's Leah on the Offbeat, full of laugh-out-loud humour and make-your-heart-melt moments. Well this week I gave it another go and I can tell you that I only got about 20 pages further than last time. After her very detailed interactions with friends, family and colleagues, all we read from her and Daniel were just some small-talk-level conversations, which never convinced me the friendship was in any way real at all.We're obsessed with the quality of our products, from the storytelling and illustrations to the luxurious finish.
