Five stars for Corey.
What a girl. I really wish I could meet her. What a blast that would be to hang out with her and having someone who is real and talks the truth. It just really gets me, when the protagonist is a fighter. Like Corey.
Beside the perfect Lovestory (my heart melted) the burden this young people have to handle is insane. Corey had this horrible accident and now she never can go back to hockey and maybe never walk again. Imagine that! And then look how strong she is and how she reaches everyones heart and show the people around her, that you really have to love your life and fight for it. Never give up. Yeah I know sounds cheesy, but it's the truth.
And then there is Hartley. While reading I thought what a dumbass. Really. But give him a chance and hear him out. Listen to his story. And that's what Corey does. She listens and she encourages him to shovel his shit.
Some of you maybe think that this book is just another lovestory and so on. But I think you have to take a look at the small things in this book. About how hard life can get and the people around you seem happy but their backs are nearly breaking because of the weight of their problems. So be nice to people. Even when they're not nice to you haha. Give 'em time and a chance. Hang out with your friends more and enjoy life. And last but not least: Read this book. It makes you smile all over your face and feel courage in your heart.
