This was unexpectedly lovely. I'm not much for anything outside of fantasy romance that includes a lot of action and death. I knew going into this that I would probably cry, especially since I cried in TFIOS. I obviously picked this up because I wanted to read it before seeing it in theatres this summer. The trailer and subsequent clips released all indicate that the movie will turn me into a mess AGAIN. 
 This was a fairly quick read, and yes, I was a hot mess express at the end. This book provided me with endless laughter and tears, and I'm very pleased I decided to pick this up and give it a chance. Despite its predictability, the characters are likable and realistic, the plot is simple yet interesting, and Moyes' writing is beautiful and packed with emotion. 
 What I thought was going to be a slightly tedious romance in fact was more about life lessons, change, and the impact of our choices.
