review 1: 100 STARSI'M DROWNING.THIS BEYOND PERFECTION.God, I have many things I want to say but I'm so overwhelmed right now of many emotions I don't know how to deal with. This story is like a hurricane, it just blew me away and I feel so tired. Exhausted. Made my heart hurt more than I could ever imagine. Left a lump in my throat which turned out to a full blown sob that I didn't even know what to do with myself. How in the heck the author made such a wonderful, heartbreaking, breathtaking story? How? And why did the author do this to me?!For me, Benjie's character represents the vulnerability of human beings. How we can be greatly affected by grief and loss of our loved ones. How long it can be to move on and how hard it is because we don't want to let go. And also, how such tur... moren of events can change us. What the book had said was true and to be honest, it gives me goose bumps when I remember it: Memories are like ghosts. They will haunt you if you let them. But of course, the book also said that nothing is impossible. That moving on is possible if we let it into. And that what happened to Benjie, it's a long journey of grief but with the help of others especially of Cal, everything had changed.CALLIEL BLUE. The man who can make me fall on my knees. The one who can give me goosebumps in just a single thought of him. The one of the few (real or not) who can make me feel loved even if it's not directed at me. He's so bright, radiant & warm that just reading about him made me feel safe. That like Benjie, I could feel no one can hurt me. Watching the sun to rise with him is too much for me and it broke my heart everytime he did that. If I was Benjie, I might watch Cal entirely and forget about the sun. LOL. Seriously, he could distract me. The green marshmallows he loved? I was done. That moment when I learned he loved the damn green marshmallows, I wish I want to be one. And the squirrel? I couldn't blame the twerky animal. I would follow him too if I saw him.I thank the author for making this book. How he made me feel I was one of the people of Roseland. Seeing things we think are impossible yet still believe into. This book taught me so much and I will describe them in simple words with deeper meanings: FAITH. SACRIFICE. MIRACLES. MOVING ON.And there's one thing for sure, I will definitely read this all over again as well as the author's other books.
review 2: 5+ out of 5This book.. So beautifully written, emotions so raw and gripping. If you have ever lost a parent, a loved one, a close friend, this book will tear you apart and put you back again. The grief that Benji experiences is so heartbreaking. But you come to understand the man that Big Eddie was through Benji's grief. And there is Cal. He is the goodness in all of us. He brings beauty to the town and to Benji too. This is full of angst but you are left with hope at the end. Hope that love and honor will get you through the grief help you remember the lost one and keep him/her in your heart. less
