I don’t even know what to say about this book so far other than
1. I need Jesus. I don’t want to think about where I would be if wasn’t for Jesus.
2. Bunny, Bun man (I like nick-naming authors of books I like) the creativity God gave you my good sir. Wow.
3. Some of the names of these “characters” and how/the way they act are too good.
4. Why is it that certain moments of this book felt like reading a thriller?

😭😔

This book has surprised me in many ways, from John Green quoting the Bible to the faith of a 14 year old girl coming to the painful understanding that death was in fact coming sooner than expected yet choosing to write, be quirky and thank God for life anyways. Cancer sucks. Esther Earl was in fact a star and I’m gonna bawl my eyes out by the end of this book.

Im only on the intro from John Green and I’m already in tears. “A short life can also be a good and rich life”.

The moment I opened this book, it felt like I was being shouted at to close it and stop reading. It was wild. Few pages in and I already started repenting, praying and rebuking. 😭

“A house divided cannot stand. To be divided, then is to be devastated. The fact of the matter is that our country seldom counts all who matter. This is why red seeps from our flag.”
“Hate is a virus. A virus demands a body. What we mean is: hate only survives when hosted in humans. If we are to give it anything, let it be our sorrow & never our skin. To love just may be the fight of our lives.”

Ahhhh

I wanted to fight Uncle Andrew.

“She was the book thief without the words. Trust me, though, the words were on their way, and when they arrived, Liesel would hold them in her hands like the clouds, and she would wring them out like the rain.” Pg 80.

Bracing myself for how this book is gonna end.
