🌼 Sasha Cade is a heartwarming story of friendship, love, loss and life! 🌸

This book was absolutely heartbreaking. The premise was sad but it was so infused with hope and love that it actually made me happy through my heartbreak and tears - as illogical as that might sound.

Sasha Cade is larger than life! She is 17, in high school and dying of cancer. Upon her death a letter arrives for her best friend, Raquel. The letter sends her on an adventure - one of many that arrive spontaneously and with perfect timing. These adventures help Raquel mourn, heal and find love. Sasha's personality, heart and essence shone through her letters and video clips. We got to know her through this amazing act of selfless love she concocted as she was slowly dying. She may have been deceased for 99% of the book but she was such an amazing character. Young did an amazing job bringing her to life in this unique way throughout the book.

I don't want to give too much away but this book was simply adorable. The extraordinary bond of friendship, the heartwarming family aspect and the feel good love story - all blended and worked perfectly together to create a story that will both break your heart and fill it up again. Then there was the ending! I'll simply say that it left me smiling, in a content and satisfied way as I turned the last page. This is a heartfelt novel not to be missed.
