I just finished this book about 4 minutes ago, and I cried my eyes out. I’m not the over-emotional type, either, but this story just touched me so deeply, and made me long for a love described in it. It put dreams and hopes and wishes of the life ahead of me and what it might bring. It hit home, touched base, for my grandfather died of Alzheimer’s, and I fear that my mother, that I myself, and my brothers, may be struck with the disease in our lifetimes.

Read it, you probably won’t regret it.

Just keep a box of tissues handy for after you hit the middle of the book.
