Cried through nearly every chapter - sometimes over the simple sweetness of friendship, love, and sisterhood, and other times in the absolute despair of loss and heartache. I’ve seen the movie(s) several times and wasn’t sure I’d enjoy the book to the fullest since I knew the major plot points. If anything, it made me like it more because I knew what was coming and I was DESPERATE to get to there. It’s a beautiful story that hits deep if you let it. I know I’ll be thinking about it for a while still.
