I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review.

All the Skies I Will Not See
by Petra March is side story from her book A Veil of Glass and Rain which I have not read. That being said it did not affect my opinion one way or the other having read the story. This short story begins and ends with tragedy. David, Eagan's best friend, lies dying on the road after a car accident and begins recounting the high moments of his life.

Told in past and present POV as David drifts in and out of consciousness, he recounts his road to self-discovery and his biggest regret. I was torn with the character as he relived some of his most intimate memories and biggest secrets. My heart-broke for him and having not read the original story I was really hoping for a different ending, one that saw David moving on with his life. But the tragedy of David's story is also one of inspiration, a reminder to live life to the fullest.

Overall, David's story is moving and touching. It left me sad and wishing for different things for this young man's life. If you enjoyed the original book or you are looking for a quick read, this is the book for you....just be sure to have to tissues on hand!
