So beautifully and respectfully written. This book is so touching, full of hope and joy in the midst of reality. Our lives are so beautifully interwoven, not even knowing how we touch each other's emotions by the simple things that we do each day like giving someone a smile or holding a door open for someone, or just saying hello and acknowledging that they are there. We tend to take so much for granted and this book reminds us of how precious life is, and not just our own lives, but the lives of everyone around us.

This is a very emotional book so be sure to check the trigger warnings if you are sensitive to certain triggers. I am glad that I went into this one not knowing anything about it and needed a tissue almost every time I sat down to read because of how touching it is. This was worth every tissue used!

No language, no graphic sex (what a breath of fresh air). Ok story, a little predictable. Worth a read.

Janica is on her way home from work when she talks a young man out of ending his life. In the course of checking in on him to see how he's doing, she gets to know his brother Thomas and they begin dating. As time goes on, Janica faces some personal challenges that affect her relationship with Thomas. This book is a tear-jerker but also hopeful and beautiful in the way it describes love, heartbreak, friendship, despair, and moving on. Not my usual fare, but so glad I read it.

A beautiful book tackling a tough subject

This is a light hearted, serious and heartbreaking but happy book. I've laughed, I've cried and I've been left uplifted.

I'm sure it's a fine story, but as soon as romance enters the picture, I'm gone.

"To all the happy couples who can have children. And to those who have no idea what they're missing. Because they don't want to lose their so-called liberty."
