This is a wonderful book
I lost my best friend and my father last year,so for me this book it was very difficult to start reading,but after the first page i knew that this story i was not just about death it was also about the life and love.
The way this writer use words is so beautiful and Unique that makes the reader go beyond the grief and painful memories
There is nothing more devastating than the death of a loved one. And whether it comes suddenly and unexpectedly, or a long and painful illness, ...Saying goodbye to them always hurts
I loved this book because it make me realise that i don't have to say goodbye just..... See you later.
