I received this book through GoodReads First Reads giveaway and have reviewed the book honestly.
This book. It was amazing, the ending had me crying. Partly joy, and the other part sadness. I knew the ending was coming, you know it's coming from the first page to about halfway. But it's the way it happens and how Josh handles it. Isabella dies. After knowing her for so long and loving her relationship with Josh, full of flaws and so realistic. This book was phenomenal, I only noticed 2 errors, both spelling related. But the book is still so powerful. Parts may be fiction, but the historical value is still here. Anytime a character who was real "finishes" their part of the story, the author gives a peak of their life AFTER the book. Such brilliance, and I can't wait to read more from Richard Taylor.
