I enjoyed the first half of this book, with its lighthearted look at some devastatingly serious issues. Then, the second half just gutted me. It left me blubbering with fresh tears and frequent tissue grabs. There are times a book enters your life at the perfect time; this one certainly did. And while I had hoped to read it last year but did not, @hes7 ‘s inclusion of this on her #NewYearWhoDis list propelled it up the list. Advice: just be. ⬇️⬇️

Librarybelle Current stats for #alternate24in48 . Will post other challenge prompts this fulfills later. @ferskner 4y
hes7 Glad you liked it! This book was just what I needed when I read it, too—and so many tears (that I didn‘t expect!) by the end. 4y
Librarybelle @hes7 Thanks for including this on your list! ❤️ 4y

Reggie I had to stop reading this book at work because I came back with red eyes every time. Especially when I was reading about Julie, Jon, and Rita. 😭 4y
Librarybelle @Reggie Oh yes - I think those parts made me cry the most! 4y

Just a joyful delight to read. I celebrated every high & low with this charming talented man with a big voice & even bigger heart. I shed a few tears along the way for all of his generosity and good deeds. Loved this one and I‘m glad I had the physical copy as the enclosed personal photos are really special 💖

alisiakae I admit to looking at the physical copy in a bookstore so I could see the photos when I listened to the audiobook. 😁 4y
Cinfhen The photos were really wonderful and plentiful @4thhouseontheleft which made this joyful book even more memorable 4y
