I'm not sure where to start...
Emotional. Beautiful.
It's not just a book about cancer and its destructive path. It's about living life to the fullest, not missing out, not giving up. It's about stepping up when others won't, filling in when others can't. It's about hope, too. About finding what your life is really about.
This is a story about Samantha, a light to so many people yet she's never truly had her own to follow until Ethan comes along. He brings a love she never imagined and a compassion for others that's equal to her own.
I really enjoyed their story, but I equally enjoyed the tributes at the end, dedicated to the individuals who inspired some of the characters in the book.
Some are related to the author, while others are relatives or friends of fellow authors and readers who have touched her life.
It's truly wonderful and I'm tearing up just thinking about it again.
Be ready with tissues.

What an emotional story! It's so beautifully written. The way it deals with sickness and death was touching. An amazing love story, in unusual circumstances, keeps reminding you to live every day to the fullest!!!

I can't even put a star rating on this book because it's so amazing. We all know someone who needs to start living life, and enjoy the small pleasures.

At the heart of 120 Days is the story of Ethan and his brother Evan. Ethan raised Evan after their parents died, and took on a more adult role, letting Evan live the life everyone should be able to.

I don't want to post spoilers, but this book is so amazing in many different ways. It was inspired by the authors parents as well. Definitely have tissues at the ready.
