I’m still crying! Big ol ugly cry tears. I’m not okay right now you guys!! 😭 But the good kind of cleansing therapeutic tears you get from a book that simultaneously breaks your heart and mends it back together at the same time. This unputdownable book is just that remarkable, that astonishing that you won’t be the same after reading it. This is one of unforgettable books that even though you can tell around the middle that the ending is not going to be exactly what you're hoping for it to be, when the ending actually comes, it ends up being exactly as it's meant to be. That in the end it actually was gut wrenchingly perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing about this book. But this book has changed many things about me!“Life isn’t measured in time, but rather moments, memories.”I’m not gonna give away any specifics about the story beyond what the blurb will tell you. I will just say that I really loved these characters. From the moment they met Lola and Roman were drawn to one another. I was sucked in and enamored by Lola and Roman’s story. These characters were strong, and beautifully brave. Their story has left an imprint on my heart and soul and I know I will think about them for weeks, if not months to come.Lola was strong and caring and a beacon of hope even when it was hopeless to the kids that came to the camp where she was volunteering. Roman saw something in Lola from the moment he met her and his goal was helping her, finding more studies and trials she could participate in. Due to their situation they weren’t supposed to fall for one another, but they did and it would lead to them both saving each other in different ways.“Our story isn’t conventional, but it’s ours.”This story is going to hit you in the feels. Even if you aren’t typically a book crier I’m willing to bet Monica James makes you cry! And it’s not all sadness it’s at the beauty of this book, for the whole journey. I felt like I was there, like I was feeling these emotions with my people who I fell for. It was a gut punch at times for the harsh reality of what was happening to the characters I had grown to love so much. Then I would be transported into the garden at Strawberry Fields and I could smell the roses and all they represented and my heart overflowed with emotions alongside Lola and Roman. It was just amazing. This story was sweet and swoony, it was sad, it was filled with love and hope, forgiveness, loss, and life. And I am here for all of it! I will definitely read this book again and again, and I will cry. Every.Dang.Time!♥️My cr8zysockbookblock blog wrap up for this book!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐️-GAHthe number of Stars in the sky for this amazing book in the phenomenal book. I could literally go on for days, actually for weeks and sing from the rooftops the praises I have for this book and for the main characters Lola and Roman. This fantastic romance is going to take you on a roller coaster of feelings. This is the book when you need a good release of the build up of tears that can only come with an epic book hangover kind of therapeutic cry!
