Oh my gosh, this book made me cry twice! I love, love, love it! You truly get an understanding of the different worlds people have to live in, and understand how luck you are.

I'd give it 4.5 if it were an option.
I love quick reads that hook you right away and this one definitely falls under that category. And as much as I have closure at the ending of the book, I still wish it would have turned out differently. This book brought me to tears because I am such a romantic and things like this get me in my feels. So what's new.

I'd like to thank Will Newman for being sensible. Other than that, review TK.
EDIT (04/04/19):
This is a pretty decent book, I enjoyed reading it. It was a quick read and was kind of informative about Cystic Fibrosis (although there's this one pivotal scene in the book that is just...Super Unrealistic, even to someone that knows nothing about CF). I liked Stella, Will, and Poe. I thought they were really cute friends.
Now, onto the main part: the romance. Whew. It's something, man. It's notbad , per se, but it's not great, either. It's basically a modern day Romeo and Juliet, except the thing that's keeping them apart aren't their families, but their sickness (and nurse Barbara).
Will honestly reads like Cole Sprouse as Jughead. He's very emo? and a rebel and weird. But it's surprisingly not annoying. Stella, on the other hand................er. I wish I could say the same. I liked her in the beginning, but towards the end of the book, she does a whole 180 turn and is honestly so stupid and reckless. Hence me thanking Will for being sensible. Because he was literally the only sensible one between the two; he knew when to stop and pull away. He knew that their love wasn't worth dying for, that he'd rather see her alive than to end up killing themselves over a couple of touches.
This was kinda insta-love. Scratch that, this is definitely insta-love, they say 'I love you' after knowing each other for two weeks. But there are some cute scenes in here.
I really like the ending of this book. It could have gone in a very different direction, and I'm very glad it didn't. Will and Stella end up getting what they want, in a way. The ending is very fitting and fulfilling. I'd recommend reading this if you have some free time.
