I retract my statement turns out I am indeed going to sob while reading this book. Currently sobbing as I write and start the next chapter.

I’m in pain and it won’t stop. The only reason why I haven’t full on sobbed yet is because I have seen the movie before I read this book and that is making it hurt a little less. But damn it I just want Stella and Will to have one moment of happiness without CF robbing it from them.

That was painful, even though I knew what was going to happen because I have seen the movie it still broke my heart when Poe died. Now Will and Stella are getting separated, it’s like any time they get a sliver of happiness something bad happens and rips it away from them. This is truly heartbreaking 💔.

Period Stella!!! When she decided she wasn’t going to let CF rob her of her joy and freedom and chance at love, I was so happy for her. I am also glad that Will agreed to her plan. Sidenote part of me feels deeply sad for Poe especially with his family situation, it’s so unfair.

My heart breaks for both Will, Stella and Poe. Having a chronic illness where there is no cure for it literally can break your hope for living. Stella is carrying so many burdens that she shouldn’t have to and it’s so unfair to her especially in her situation.

Stella is so compassionate even when Will is being an asshole. I also feel bad for her, she is in the hospital sick and yet she has all these burdens on her that stress her out and stop her from truly focusing on getting better. I understand why Will doesn’t want to do the treatments anymore but I think he also needs to be aware of his privilege and not take it for granted.

So far Stella and Will are off to funny interesting first impression of each other. I think am going to really enjoy this book but I also sense that it might emotionally wreck me.
