Always, in December

The begining was 5 stars, then the middle was meh and the ending was garbage.

From the beginning I was told this book was absolutely devastating, so of course I told myself I had to read it, but oh my god...
“'Oh, darling. I think he's been trying to say goodbye to you since he met you.'
With that, Josie curled into a ball on the chair, and, finally, she wept.”
Like Josie, same! I also want to curl up into a ball and just sob uncontrollably after this.

I was suggested this book as being a ‘tear jerker' and I spent most of the book completely ignorant of what I presume is the main ‘tear jerker' moment. Personally, it didn't get me there, but this is a sad yet sweet romance novel that's worthy of a read / listen (whatever takes your fancy).

If you are looking for a coherent review of this book...this isn't the one. I'm so mad. My heart hurts and I'm so mad. I knew it was sad, but I prepared for the wrong loss. I finished this on Christmas and WEEEEPED!! ON CHRISTMAS!! I had to explain the whole premise to my husband while blubbering and he hugged me until I calmed down. This book is excellent. It's honestly so beautiful and I would torture myself by reading it again. I loved it so much. The first part of the book is obviously my favorite part. I love Max. If you feel like crying, go read it now. I'm still mad though. Too many emotions.
