And i could relate so much with her, i also know how it's to lose someone close to me, how devastating it is and how it's true that it does get better with time.I truly enjoyed this story from the very beginning, i devoured each word,i felt each word. I laughed, i cried, i smiled, i grinned,i felt inspired.Many of the character now have a special place in my heart.5 INFINITE STARS Now i finish with a Chuck Norris joke (actually my favorite one) :- If Chuck Norris was an element from the periodic table, which one would he be?The element of surprise (LMAO)
