Do you have some kind of activity that you do with your family while growing up? Something that was special and memorable? In this book, catching fireflies in mason jar was the character’s special memory.
For me, it’s not something conventional. It was visiting cemetery lol! When I was a kid, we always celebrate Eid at my mum’s hometown. After the special morning prayer, we would go to the cemetery to pay respect to late family/relatives. I love observing people’s reactions when visiting graves. I could go on about this but it’d be off topic so I’ll stop here lol!
Now back to the book. This is one of my favorite book. This book made me ugly cry, and it’s such a beautiful story that will stay with me for a long time.

The Empty Jar by M. Leighton
Amazon | Goodreads | My Review
Blurb:
Three months touring Europe.
Romantic. Dazzling. Unforgettable.
The trip of a lifetime.
But some lifetimes are shorter…
We couldn’t have known it would work out this way.
No one could. No one could’ve guessed that something so beautiful could be so tragic.
But it is tragic.
Yet so, so beautiful.
That’s what sacrifice is—beauty and tragedy.
It’s pain and suffering for something or someone you love.
And this is the ultimate sacrifice.
One stunning act of true love.
This is our story.
Our true love story.
