"This was a very good book it was heartfelt , it was sad but it was also happy,exiting and heart warming ( I cried at one point ) the ending is a wonderful one and the book in general is just very beautiful and sad and most of all joyful. I definitely recommend this book if you like poems and if you like semi-cry."
