Read my full review on my book blog, The Quiet Pond.
I received an uncorrected bounded manuscript from the author. This does not influence my opinion in any way.
When I finished this book, I had tears mixed with snot sliding down my face. I plan on reading and reviewing the finished book come November, but here are my preliminary thoughts:
- The book really resonated with me because one of my most intense fears is losing someone I love. And this book is that fear in book form. For Julie, this fear becomes a reality - and it follows how she grapples with his death.
- Fans of Your Name/Kimi No Na Wa, I think you'll love this. The fabulism mixed with its very real and genuine portrayal of grief, love, and the connection that we have with others is beautiful.
- You will probably cry. and cry. and cry. just like I did. Because death is unimaginable, but letting go is impossible. And if you've ever lost someone, this book is for you.
Friends, you need to read this book and suffer just as I did.

What kind of content was in the book? Would it be appropriate in terms of language and *coughs* sexy times for younger but more advanced readers?

From the early version of the book that I read (it may have changed since then), there was no coarse language and no depictions of sex. There is a heavy portrayal of grief and death, though.
I actaul dnfed a similar book a whule back called the two lives of Lydia Bard.
Great review! Love your blog theme!
