Even having been pre-warned about the nature of this book, I found myself ugly crying at the end. While I consider myself to be a pretty positive person, Bright Side shows me how much *more* there is to forgiveness, empathy, understanding, and positivity. She is a great role model (although I don't think I'll incorporate "Dude" into my speech quite so much) and the love that she shows others is amazing. 
 This is definitely a book you'll want to buy and re-read.
