💭 My Thoughts: This story was beautifully written. I loved to hear Maggie’s story. Especially her and  Bryce’s love story. All the things they lived together, the romantic dates they had, especially the date on the beach was my favorite.  This book touched certain areas that are very special and similar to me. Maggie had to go through a teenage pregnancy and cancer. Teenage pregnancy is no fun especially in the year of 1995. I knew of the fear she had to have gone through, same thing happened to me. And, the fact that she had no support of her parents was worse. Good thing that her Aunt Linda, Linda’s friend, Gwen were there to support her, and of course Bryce and his family as well. Then years pass after so long and she endes up with melanoma cancer which is ending with her life. How can things get any worse for her, but the quotes she stated to her son towards the end shows the strong woman she was. Both problems the author used in this story I can relate to very well and even though Maggie had terminal cancer which took her life, thankfully I am still here battling with my cancer! This story was captivating and definitely a tear jerker so be ready and have your tissue box close by.
