About the author
Tillie Cole
59 books25.8k followersAmazon & USA Today Best Selling Author, Tillie Cole, is a Northern girl through and through. She originates from a place called Teesside on that little but awesomely sunny (okay I exaggerate) Isle called Great Britain. She was brought up surrounded by her English rose mother -- a farmer's daughter, her crazy Scottish father, a savagely sarcastic sister and a multitude of rescue animals and horses.
Being a scary blend of Scottish and English, Tillie embraces both cultures; her English heritage through her love of HP sauce and freshly made Yorkshire Puddings, and her Scottish which is mostly demonstrated by her frighteningly foul-mouthed episodes of pure rage and her much loved dirty jokes.
Having been born and raised as a Teesside Smoggie, Tillie, at age nineteen, moved forty miles north to the 'Toon', Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, where she attended Newcastle University and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts honours degree in Religious Studies. She returned two years later to complete a Post-Graduate Certificate in Teaching High School Social Studies. Tillie, regards Newcastle to be a home from home and enjoyed the Newcastle Geordie way of life for seven 'proper mint' and 'lush' years.
One summers day, after finishing reading her thousandth book on her much loved and treasured Kindle, Tillie turned to her husband and declared, "D'you know, I have a great idea for a story. I could write a book." Several months later, after repeating the same tired line at the close of another completed story, she was scolded by her husband to shut up talking about writing a novel and "just bloody do it!" For the first time in eleven years, Tillie actually took his advice (he is still trying to get over the shock) and immediately set off on a crazy journey, delving deep into her fertile imagination.
Tillie, ever since, has written from the heart. She combines her passion for anything camp and glittery with her love of humour and dark brooding men (most often muscled and tattooed – they’re her weakness!). She also has a serious side (believe it or not!) and loves to immerse herself in the complex study of World Religions, History and Cultural Studies and creates fantasy stories that enable her to thread serious issues and topics into her writing -- yep, there's more to this girl than profanity and sparkles!
After six years of teaching high school Social Studies and following her Professional Rugby Player husband around Europe, they have finally given up their nomadic way of life and settled in Calgary, Alberta where Tillie spends most of her days (and many a late night) lost in a writing euphoria or pursuing a dazzling career as a barrel-racing, tasselled-chap wearing, Stetson-sporting cowgirl... Ye-haw!

the concept/premise of this novel isnt anything new, but this still managed to tug on my heartstrings at the end. i tend to have soft spot for bittersweet love stories, so the last few chapters had my eyes misty.
and while i do think stories like “a walk to remember” and “the fault in our stars” do a better job at character development and writing in general, this still has the heart and soul you want from a heartbreakingly sweet story like this.
so a good emotional read if you are wanting to shed some cathartic tears or just want to immerse yourself in youthful love.
↠ 3.5 stars

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 EMOTIONAL STARS
'𝖶𝖱𝖨𝖳𝖤 𝖬𝖤 𝖥𝖮𝖱 𝖸𝖮𝖴' Is a full length captivating emotional rollercoaster young adult book by author Tillie Cole. Spoken in dual POV's. 17 year old June & Jesse.
...'𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒂 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒎𝒚 𝒎𝒂𝒎𝒂 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒅𝒂𝒅𝒅𝒚. 𝑷𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆, 𝒎𝒐𝒐𝒏, 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝑰'𝒎 𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉, 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆.' (𝑱𝒖𝒏𝒆 𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒅 10)How nieve was I to think that a box of tissues would prepare me for anything this Queen of Heartbreak would throw my way..Nothing could've prepared me for this..
This split my heart in two, one half for Jesse (the happy go lucky football star, with the warriors heart) the other half for June (the writer, the shy introvert with a heart of gold). '𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙬𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙖𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩, 𝙚𝙥𝙞𝙘 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙨.' Two hearts that beat as one, the extrovert and the introvert who became soul mates in the truest form.
Tillie poured her heart and soul into this book and that’s showcased by the tears pouring down my face onto my iPad as I closed out of that last page, shattered by this book, you can either believe June’s story or ride the tides of despair as the inevitable happened. One path leads to love and happiness in the truest form as written in June’s own words, the other leads you to heartbreak.
It's been about a week give or take since i finished this book, and it's still playing on a loop in my mind, definitely go in prepared for Tillie to rip that heart to shreds. Because she will...

“Write me for you.” “What?” I whispered back in confusion. Jesse met my eyes, keeping just an inch from me as he searched them. “Write me for you. In your great love story. Fall for me.” He pressed his forehead against mine. “Allow me to fall for you. Write me for you.”
“You wrote me into existence, June. And in your words, I found my forever.”
“I wrote you so the world would never forget you. So I would never forget us.”

Write Me For You by Tillie Cole
5/5 stars
This book broke me into tiny little pieces. It was stunning, beautiful, hopeful, agonizing, heartbreaking and even though I knew how it would end, earth-shattering. I just kept on crying. It started with a scene here and there. But the last 20 pages I was bawling.
This beautiful book starts with June and her parents sitting in the doctor's office hearing that 17 year-old June is gonna die. There is nothing they can do and they are arranging palliative care for her. But a few days later Dr. Long calls them again and tells them a spot opened up in a clinical trial that might save her life. They instantly jump on the opportunity.
They arrive at Harmony Ranch and June is part of a trial with 7 other teens who have acute myeloid leukemia. She instantly connects with Jesse. Their hearts just immediately open up to each other. And together with Emma and Chris they are a unit who fight AML together. They encourage each other, support each other and have each other's backs.
But the heart of the book is the love story of June and Jesse. I love how deep and meaningful it was. It wasn't driven by just mere lust. It's them truly seeing each other.
It's a story of how they deal with setbacks and bad news. It's a story of how deep June's parents care for Jesse whose dad left him when he was 12. It's about friendship and ... my God my heart broke for Chris in the end.
June is also a talented author and she is writing down her love story with Jesse. And she gives them a future after Harmony Ranch. And both she and Jesse are chasing that dream. To get wrinkles, get grey hairs and grow old together.
This quote squeezed my heart so tight I couldn't breath for a moment.
"If I die," I whispered a while later, "I want to go just like this-with you next to me, holding my hand."
These two show what unconditional love is. Their parents, Jesse's sisters, the other patients, the staff - they all show what love is.
And that love broke me into utter pieces.
I am glad Tillie explained why she wrote this book. How cancer suddenly popped up in her life, taking multiple people she loved. And that made me bawl again. Because like her I used to know no one close who had cancer. And then suddenly my father in law got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Spread and untreatable. He withered away within two weeks. Poof gone. Then my brother got lymph-node cancer. Luckily the treatable kind. But I saw how the chemo attacked his body. How he got nerve damage and was in pain all the time. But his resurgence? I have never admired someone as much as I do him. He went to every doctor's session alone, and when I brought him to the hospital and he came out of that room with his hands in the air I burst with joy. He was still tired. He heard the news at 10 am. And he was at work at 12 am. Yes it was hard and difficult and he had to rest a lot. But he was done with sitting at home and instantly worked full time again. His strength was awe-inspiring. And soon after that my mother in law got blood cancer. A cancer that will never go away. She took part in a clinical trial and luckily she didn't wither away. She beat it. Recently it was noticeable in her blood again. A very small margin. So we don't know what the future brings.
But thinking about my own experience. I think that made it even more emotional for me. I felt their pain, their love and their strength.
5 huge stars from me for this stunning book.

Just rip my heart out, why don’t ya? 🩷
The ending was awful and beautiful all at once. Be prepared to cry. Most of the beginning of the book isn’t sad even though you have a feeling that your heart will be ripped out at any moment. It is more about the building of all the relationships between the teenage cancer patients going through the same treatment.
Then, horrible, heart breaking things keep happening towards the end. Some of the things June said right at the end ripped my heart out, because it made me think of all the cancer patients in real life who felt those things.
I would give this a 4.5 rounded up. The reason I would deduct .5 stars is because I actually really didn’t care much about the story June was writing. I only cared about what was happening to them now. The ending was so powerful though that I felt this needed to be rounded up to 5 stars. I feel this could easily be a movie or limited series.

WOW.. actually speechless. This wrecked me. Even though this was incredibly heartbreaking and hard to read, Tillie Cole did a wonderful job writing this story.
This is a story I will probably think about for the rest of my life. I'd suggest going into this story as blind as you possibly can. Just know, it will wreck you. Have the tissues ready.
"In any universe or lifetime, for no matter how long."

I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING.😭😭😭
I've yet to read a book by Tillie Cole that hasn't made me cry. I have noticed that in her books, the story is not only of Poppy&Rune's, Savanna&Cael's, June&Jesse; This is Tillie's story too. This is what her family went through. After losing my grandfather to cancer, I guess this is my family's story too, in a way. After his demise, it seemed as though my grandmother js withered away, and she too joined him after 6 months.
Tillie's grief is so potent all throughout her books- I can barely see through the haze of my tears. I had an inkling of how the story would end, but I'd hoped against hope.
I'M NOT OKAYYYY.oh well. I won't stop thinking about this for a long time now.
Why do I do this to myself time and again?!😭😭😭

bon ben c'est fidèle à ce quelle sait faire : c'est très triste mdr
j'ai pas pleuré (probablement parce que je l'ai écouté et pas lu) mais c'était hyper touchant quand même, encore une belle et déchirante histoire même si prévisible.
j'ai adoré le côté original de l'histoire dans l'histoire
— "écris-nous. dans ta grande histoire d'amour. laisse-moi tomber amoureux de toi. écris notre histoire."

“She loved me and I loved her. I lifted her hand and kissed the heart that now sat on it. This girl truly did have my heart in her hands. And I was fine with never getting it back.”
TILLIE U DID IT AGAIN😭💔
Oh my gosh, after staring at my wall I finally got myself to write this review and am still crying and sobbing I knew I was not gonna finish this book with dry eyes. But oh myyy that hurt so so much, but it was so beautiful at the same time. I kinda expected the ending, but it still hurt so much just like any other Tillie Cole book😭
I’m not gonna say much other than Jesse and June are just everything the way I screamed at that ending cause it couldn’t end in any other way just NO, and definitely one of my favourite reads of the year and just soo good highly recommend if u need a good cry!

This freaking book 😭 I was crying so hard my chest physically hurt.
I don’t know what to really say about this. It was so tragically sad. Our main characters have moved to a place for one last chance at a treatment to help their leukemia that they’re both dying from. This book is sad, like overwhelmingly so at times, but it also has so much heart. It’s about family, love, found friendships, following your passion, accepting heartbreak - this book really is about so much.
I’ll be thinking about this book for a long time.

this was HORRIBLE omg
before i start the amount of grammar/editing issues REALLY PISSED ME OFF

this is the first and last sad romance i’ll ever read cause WHAT WAS THIS
i think i hate it sm because of how unenjoyable it was like not once was i kicking my feet giggling no it was just SAD and AWFUL
not only was it sad but it wasn’t even good 😭
i thought for sure i was going to love this book in the beginning the writing had me hooked and i started becoming invested but WOW that was not for long
as much as i did like june and jesse’s characters this was SOOOO insta lovey it’s crazy
they literally met and said i love u to each other within four minutes UM YOU DON’T KNOW EACH OTHER!!! 🚨‼️
OH ALSO IF HE CALLED HER JUNEBUG ONE MORE TIME I WAS GOING TO THROW A CHAIR
there was no depth besides them both going through cancer and i can imagine that time is very precious when going through something life altering like that but where was them actually getting to know each other
i didn’t get attached to these two at all i felt literally no emotional attachment to their story i’m sorry
now we need to talk about the parallel universe thing IM SO CONFUSED WHAT THE ACTUAL STORY WAS AND WHAT WASN’T I DON’T KNOW i think that’s also another reason i didn’t like this like there was no clear answer to that it pissed me off UGH i never want to read that again

Ryczałam tu jak głupio, ale czy to wszystko? Przypomniałam sobie dlaczego nie sięgam po książki z chorobami…
Książka prószyła mnie do głębi, ale mam jedno ale…
Momentami się nudziłam i gdybym nie słuchała w audio to pewnie bym ją jeszcze męczyła. Nie rozumiem też dlaczego June w swojej alternatywnej historii skupia się na chorobie również. Może nie jest dane mi to zrozumieć, może chodzi o władzę… ale te momenty ciągnęły mi się bardzo.
Jest pięknie napisana i na końcu nie mogłam się opanować i dość do siebie. Z drugiej strony czegoś mi tu zabrakło bo mimo tego, że płaczemy na książce to chyba musi coś więcej? Coś wartego zapamiętania…

To książka, która potrafi mocno poruszyć (czytając zakończenie popłakałam się aż dwa razy!).
Tillie Cole nie tylko pokazuje nam historię pełną emocji, ale daje coś więcej – dwie opowieści w jednej. Z jednej strony dostajemy trudną, realistyczną drogę bohaterów, a z drugiej alternatywny happy end, który June zapisuje w swojej historii. Ten motyw skradł moje serce, bo pozwala czytelnikowi przeżyć zarówno prawdę, jak i marzenie o szczęśliwym zakończeniu.
Minusy? Tempo akcji jest miejscami zbyt wolne, a fabuła trochę przewidywalna. Ale mimo tego to historia, która zostaje z czytelnikiem na dłużej właśnie dzięki emocjom i podwójnej perspektywie zakończenia.
Moja ocena: 3,5/5

Z jednej strony dostajemy trudną, realistyczną drogę bohaterów, a z drugiej alternatywny happy end, który June zapisuje w swojej historii. Ten motyw skradł moje serce, bo pozwala czytelnikowi przeżyć zarówno prawdę, jak i marzenie o szczęśliwym zakończeniu.
Minusy? Tempo akcji jest miejscami zbyt wolne, a fabuła trochę przewidywalna. Ale mimo tego to historia, która zostaje z czytelnikiem na dłużej właśnie dzięki emocjom i podwójnej perspektywie zakończenia.

#Review: *Write Me For You* - Tillie Cole - ARC [YA]
5/5✨
0/5🌶️
I ran so fast to sign up for an ARC of this book!! I adooore Tillie Cole's stories, so I was elated to see that I was accepted for it!🥹 Thank you so, so much Tillie and Valentine Pr for making it happen🩵.
June was a young girl who loved to write. She wanted to create the most wonderful love story, which would melt anyone's heart. But she haven't experienced anything close to love and she might not have the chance to do so. That's until she meets the sweetest and funniest boy, named Jesse, who might irreversible steal her heart. They lived every moment together as if it was their last and they had the most beautiful connection ever. And that might just be the inspiration for a super unique and heart-warming story, one which will forever live on.
I cannot say in words how much I loved this story and how deeply it affected me! Even right now, while I'm writing this, I cannot contain my tears!🥺 It touched me to my bones, as every book I've read by the author so far. June and Jesse had that instant connection, which can be compared to two souls which have finally found their lost halves. The way they supported each other was the sweetest thing ever! I loved that they tried to be as positive as they could, trying to enjoy all the beautiful people and things around them to the fullest. I'm trying so hard to not say too much because I don't wanna spoil anything from this story.
As I expected, this book has wrecked me in to best way possible. Please prepare your tissues when you start reading this one, because I shed my first tears even from the first pages🥺. I'm an emotional person, so it might have had a stronger effect on me, but I promise you that there's no way to stay unaffected by this beautiful story.

Gdybym mogła, dałabym jej 8 gwiazdek.
Teraz idę zbierać swoje serce, bo się posypało

𝗡𝗔𝗣𝗜𝗦𝗭 𝗠𝗡𝗜𝗘 𝗣𝗢 𝗦𝗪𝗢𝗝𝗘𝗠𝗨 mnie złamało. I pozwoliłabym tej książce na to ponownie.
To, jak bardzo płakałam na tej książce wiem tylko ja i mój bogom ducha winny mąż, który po prostu chciał pograć w Fallouta. Baby, I’m sorry I’m unstable.
Ale przy książkach Tillie nie da się być stabilnym emocjonalnie. Czułam tutaj wszystko co możliwe, na czele z nadzieją, troską, żalem, trwogą, sympatią, miłością czy radością. Czy to już podchodzi pod znęcanie się nad czytelnikiem? Tak sądzę. Znam już głowę Tillie na tyle, że wiem jedno - nie ma co się nastawiać na cokolwiek, ponieważ nigdy nic nie idzie po myśli czytelnika. I niby wiesz co się stanie, ale się łudzisz - a może tym razem będzie dobrze.
Tylko czy może być dobrze zawsze?
Tillie opisała grupę siedemnastolatków, w tym dwoje najważniejszych - June i Jesse’go - którzy chorują na ostrą białaczkę szpikową w czwartym stadium. I samo to, że są tak młodzi, że tyle jeszcze życia przed nimi złamało mi serce (piszę to i płaczę, ajm sori). Jednak to coś standardowego dla Tillie - nie oszczędza nikogo i pokazuje, że choroba nie zważa na majątek, talent czy osiągnięcia. Zdrowia nie da się kupić czy wywalczyć na loterii.
Miłość - tak ważna. To, co było między Jess a June to było coś pięknego. Wsparcie, rozmowy, nie ukrywanie swoich intencji, bo nie było na to czasu. I przede wszystkim docenianie każdej sekundy, jaką się ma. Jednak nie była tutaj pokazana wyłącznie miłość romantyczna - także pięknie przedstawiona miłość przyjacielska oraz rodzica do dziecka.
Emocje jak zwykle on point, miażdżące swoim przekazem i ładunkiem. Od połowy w zasadzie cały czas płakałam, kocham taki emotional damage, przez który wypluwam płuca od płaczu. Polecam.

Wow. I need to sit with this one for a while. I’m not even sure how to begin putting my heart back together after reading this one. This book completely shattered me in the most beautiful, devastating way.
From the very first page, I felt like I was holding something fragile and precious, just like June and Jesse’s story was a secret the universe whispered to me. June is such a tender, brave soul, dreaming of writing the kind of love story that fills the world with light, while quietly fearing she may never live one of her own. And then Jesse crashes into her world like a burst of sunshine, wild and beautiful and alive in all the ways she longs to be.
Their connection is instant, intense, and achingly pure. You feel every glance, every quiet moment, every word between them. This isn’t just a romance, it’s a story about what it means to truly live, even when time isn’t promised. It’s about finding your person, even if only for a fleeting moment.
By the end, I was sobbing. Like full-on ugly crying. My heart felt cracked open, raw, and also so full. It doesn’t just tell a story, it writes you into the emotion. The hope. The pain. The love. And long after the last page, their story lingers.
This is the kind of book that changes you. One you won’t forget. One that reminds you that some love stories, even if they don’t get a forever, still last always. 💔✨

idk what i was expecting but maybe something better than this 😭😭
it’s not even that the concept or the storyline is bad but the execution and the writing??? please save me 🤢 i wanted to dnf this at 30% but i pushed through because i liked a thousand boy kisses that mad me SOB 🥲
this one is just not it.
maybe it’s cuz whenever a couple calls the other ‘baby’ its so ICKY 🍼🍼🍼 i just don’t like that nickname and i also don’t like the nickname ‘junebug’. 🐛 like it would have been fine if it was her dad calling her that but JESSE?? nonono and every five seconds? bug bug bug 🐜
it was kind of sad one part almost had me in tears but it wasn’t even between the two love interests it was when the *spoiler* ❌❌ the best friend dies, because EMMA WAS THE ONLY DIVA THERE WAS 👸🏻.
the whole switching between fictional love story that june wrote and their own one was also kinda confusing but that’s js my opinion no hate at all… 😅

•initial thoughts• IM SO FREAKING EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK!!
🎀tropes: country/small town, nerd-jock, sports romance
6⭐️ OMGG THIS BOOK IS AMAZING the actual physical book itself was gorgeous and the dipped pages are so prettyyyy!! i love tillie cole so so much all her books (that i’ve read) are always 6 stars. every single one has made me sob thru the entire book while still making me so happyy. there was so many elements of this book that i loved, specifically the positivity and perseverance of all the characters, the family vibes, and also the whole notebook/alternate universe stuff. i loved that at least on paper they could have the happy ending they wanted. it kinda reminded me of a thousand boy kisses, bc even after death there was still something to remember them and their story by. the ending was expected yet i still cried so much but i loved that even in death they still got to be together. and omg his nickname for her🩷😭😭so freaking cute. i loved the scenes with jesse and june’s dad and how well they got along and treated each other, and how jesse kinda got the feeling of having a dad again.
~favorite quotes~
“”Group two for the win!””
“”But I know my worth and what I've fought to still be here, on this earth, breathing. And that reminds me of what I've always known.”
“What's that?”I asked.
Emma's smile turned into a grin. “That I'm fucking fabulous.”” {page 127}
“”If we don't, I just need you to know that meeting you...being with you has been the highlight of my life.”” {page 151}
“”You look incredible,” I said, making sure she knew that every word I spoke was true. “But you are beautiful with hair or without, you always have been. And I fell for you when you were Cancer Girl and I was Cancer Boy.” I frowned.
“Wait, why did that make us sound like superheroes?”
June threw her head back and laughed, and it sounded like heaven.
“God, I've missed you so much, Junebug.””
{page 165}
“I was pretty sure I left both my heart and soul in her hands. She would come back to me soon. And I'd wait for that day to arrive.
I'd wait forever if I had to.” {page 213}
“”I've done it, baby,” I whispered into the empty room. “I've given us the happily ever after that I promised us.” I closed my eyes and could see his wide smile. I could feel him lean in and kiss me.” {page 314}
💕i know this review has been long but thank you for staying till the end💕

4.75⭐️ Esta livro e tão bonito. Temos uma história feliz e mais triste. a autora conseguiu transmitir tudo, a dor, a perda, a felicidade, a luta de dois jovens que so queriam o seu feliz para sempre. a June e o Jesse foram dois jovens que no meio do caos da sua doença se apaixonaram e que tanto numa história como na outra tiveram a sua felicidade. E duro e cru e fez me chorar baba e ranho. Só gostava de ter sabido se o sonho da June se concretizou. de resto o livro e perfeito.

4.25⭐️! Seriously omg…. 🥺! Tillie Cole does it again! Loved this story and these characters! Had me from the beginning all the way to the end! If you are in need of a tearjerker… read this one! 💕

I'm not the biggest fan of insta-love tropes and for a good reason, it is really hard to feel emotionally attached to the characters and their love story. Sadly this was for sure an insta-love romance. I wasn't completely ruined by the ending exactly for that reason. I feel like June and Jesse’s story should have had more time to be explained. It lacked depth. It lacked connection.
That said, I know others really loved this book so if you are a fan of Tilly Cole, I would not hesitate to read it for yourself and see what you think.

After reading A Thousand Boy Kisses and A Thousand Broken Pieces, I truly expected Write Me for You to be on par and earn a five-star rating. Unfortunately, for me, it fell short. At times it felt so similar to her previous books that I often thought I was rereading one of them.
In all three Tillie Cole novels I’ve picked up, the focus has been on teenagers battling cancer, along with the inevitable turmoil and pain that come with it. While these themes are undeniably emotional, the repetition has started to feel predictable rather than powerful.
I also struggled with the way June wrote about a future that she and Jesse were never going to have. From the very beginning, it felt inevitable that their love story would be ripped apart, and that lack of surprise lessened the emotional impact for me. With Cole’s other books I shed A LOT of tears—but this one didn’t move me in the same way.
That being said, the ending was beautifully written and captured some of the emotional depth I had hoped for. However, the constant typos throughout the book were distracting and, at times, downright frustrating.
I really wanted this to be at least a four-star read, but in my opinion, it just wasn’t up to scratch. I do hope Tillie Cole releases something new in the future that steps away from the heavy focus on cancer and death—a story that still carries emotional weight, but without being so relentlessly morbid.

Phewww...this book is a tearjerker! I had a feeling but from the beginning you just know.
I don't want to say too much but TC does something in the story that I can't decide if I like or not. One thing is it definitely took some of the sting away.
