" Letting go isn’t about forgetting. It’s balancing moving forward with life, and looking back from time to time, remembering the people in it.”  

Let me start off with, what a great read to start this year! I really enjoyed reading this book. The plot is pretty straightforward and the characters are okay. I felt like there's something missing throughout the book, especially the characters. I guess for me, it just lacked that wow factor, but don't get me wrong, this is a decent book and a decent read. What made this book such a good reading experience is the way it depicted grief and how Julie manages it. My favorite part of the book would definitely be the ending, since it broke me. So if you want to read it give it a try it's a sad book though so prepare your tissues. Gave it a 4-star rating.
