review 1: maybe my review isn't valid because I only made it to page 100. after there was a typo of Calebs sisters name, from Minnie, several times, to a random "Millie", I was done. please, authors, get your junk together! I didn't like the selfishness and ridiculous way that Emma handled herself, more like a 13 year old rather than 17. it isn't a book that I would want my young daughter reading, I heart had to put it down because I highly doubt it would get better.
review 2: I absolutely loved this book. The emotions that Emma was feeling were written so well I could feel all her hate and anger towards Dan. And even though I've never lost anyone close, I could feel her loss seeping out of the pages into me. When she met Caleb and they both saw each other, I mean really... more saw each other for who they really were. Not the perfect grades girl or the boy who steals cars, but the loneliness and anger they both shared but never told anyone about. It's hard for me to imagine anything happening to my mother. She's my rock. But when you really sit and think about it, nothing is ever going to stay the same. Emma has definitely taught me that you can have someone with you one minute then the next minute they are reaching for a piece of toast and are gone. The small split second and everything you thought you knew or thought would be there forever is gone. You can't ever take anyone or anything for granted. I really loved her friend Olivia and her aversion to anything tech. I saw our generation represented in her parents. On there phones every two seconds without ever looking up to experience what is right in front of all of us. Or having an actual face to face conversation. We get so caught up in trying to make our lives look as though we are actually living on a social media site, that we lose what's important. Which is actually living in the moment rather than trying to capture it and give it to other people. I also stopped and wondered a few times if what Dan did was the right thing. Is it okay to keep someone alive, who is brain dead, just to keep the baby they were carrying. There are so many arguments about that kind of situation that you could make. But just like anything in life there are Pros and Cons. I have to reiterate that I love,love,love,loved this book! less
