Although, that relationship between Austin and Kaylee sounds so sweet and perfect. I really love reading about best friends who turn into more. Too bad about the other characters, but it sounds like it doesn't hurt the plot a ton. I really don't read too many sad books, so I probably won't read this one, but who knows....the library may urge me to pick it up. ;DJen (@ Jens Book Closet)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02339586413882184139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-73937666048806859102011-11-22T20:02:56.593-06:002011-11-22T20:02:56.593-06:00This one sounds like my type of book!

I like that Austin chooses to focus on the positive, but it's too bad that you couldn't connect to the other characters as much.A Canadian Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127164685941412250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-66401438722977439582011-11-22T17:45:16.622-06:002011-11-22T17:45:16.622-06:00Oh I'm so glad you reviewed this one after the...Oh I'm so glad you reviewed this one after the last post. I'm still thinking that I need to read this one. I like the uplifting and heartfelt feel to it.

I haven't read this book yet, but I do agree that it sounds like Austin's tale would have made more of an impact if only a few people were visited.Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-90141974511270570882011-11-22T11:11:01.373-06:002011-11-22T11:11:01.373-06:00I feel like I will most likely be in tears by the ...I feel like I will most likely be in tears by the end of this one, but I'm so glad to know the story isn't weighed down too much with the fact that Austin is dying and instead focuses on some brighter things. I can definitely see how having Austin visit so many people would prevent you from really getting involved with any of them, and that is a bit of a shame, I always like getting super involved with characters. Really lovely review Rummanah!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-24484329886170693922011-11-22T10:05:22.830-06:002011-11-22T10:05:22.830-06:00Glad Austin's voice sounds realistic.

Sounds like a pretty good book.Alison Can Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908868606441539344noreply@blogger.com
