Brilliantly written

This was so well written. Would definitely recommend. I wasn't sure if I would like it due to the split ending but I loved it.

very good

thought this was a good book. felt very much like a female narrative of a male character with max and didn't quite come across as strongly as a true version of his perspective, but otherwise really good. very sad.

Wow

this book is not like the other books by the author but i was gripped from the start. One review I read give the outcome away so I will try to review without spoilers.

beautful characters, heartwrenching decisions, and hope .

Not an easy read/listen by any means due to the subject matter. I did find aspects of the book confusing (lots of jumping around) but once I was on track it was fine.

Heartbreaking but one which we should all read.

How grateful we should be never to have been faced with such a predicament.

After the end

I found this book very emotional and heart warming. As with many of the reviews there was quite a few tears. Also three people reading this book made the characters very real. A very enjoyable book l didn’t want it to end. First class writing.
