Convince us to read the book: This book shows and proves, just how far people will go to obtain whatever they perceive is "love." It also shows just how strong love is.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: The most compelling aspect of the book was how Derek, had this sickness the whole time and somehow—for the longest time kept it a secret from Beth (his girlfriend). Also, when Beth did finally figure out he was sick, you could really feel for
her seeing the guy she loves die right in front of her face.
Comments: This really raised awareness for me what Cystic Fibrosis was. And I really liked the message throughout the whole book. I could never put this book down and always wanted to know what was going to happen next. I could relate to the characters and imagine them 24/7. Great book!
Did the cover tempt you and/or reflect the contents of the book: The cover that they have does reflect the contents and how important both of them felt when they touched each other’s hand—and just the symbol of touching hands reflects the cover of the book. It did tempt me to pick up the book—it seems a bit sappy though and unoriginal.
