I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to suddenly lose your voice so I think I'd be able to really feel for Jake :( I also love books where characters use the bad things thrown at them in life to mould their futures: books like these really teach me not to take the simple things in life for granted!<br /><br />Another fabbity-doo review, Jasprit <3Beverleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03592918949547677731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-44339192639057598222012-06-14T16:02:16.099+01:002012-06-14T16:02:16.099+01:00I didn't know that this story was based on a p...I didn't know that this story was based on a personal experience.

I feel like it almost always makes things more real, especially knowing that somewhere out there, someone had gone through similar difficulties and survived it. It's so inspiring, and infinitely beautiful! :) Normally I don't like predictability, but the emotion behind it is enough to compensate, I think! ;) <br /><br />Beautiful review, J! <3Mimi Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04241457025232914551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-47047757408375949352012-06-12T18:05:17.322+01:002012-06-12T18:05:17.322+01:00I'm so glad you enjoyed this book, Jasprit. :)...I'm so glad you enjoyed this book, Jasprit. :)<br />It was definitely a heart-wrenching book, but I found myself enjoying it too. :)<br />Lovely review, Jasprit ! :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-67888679790043533122012-06-12T17:18:02.329+01:002012-06-12T17:18:02.329+01:00OH it's the first time I see it's based on...OH it's the first time I see it's based on the author's experience. You're right it makes it even more interesting and heart wrenching to know this really happened. I had that experience with Keep Holding On and Radiate. Anyways I had this high on my wishlist before I read this so it just makes me want to read it even more.

Can't wait to get my hands on this piece of lovey-dovey awesomeness!!! ;) I love books about accepting who you are and always having hope so I'm hoping and praying that I'll love this too.
