Island Baby: I did not believe

islandgirljam:

When I saw all the posts about this book

I thought you were all a bunch of cry babies did not believe that this book could evoke enough emotion that people would cry real tears from just reading it.

I have never read a book that has made me cry, movies have caused tears, songs have caused tears, but books…no tears.

But this book, TEARS, at approximately 59% (thank you kindle fire), I felt them coming. I I felt my eyes start to fill, then a little tear rolled down my cheek, then a few more, then streams of tears and sobbing to the point that I could no longer see the words. I spent the rest of the book a crying fool and I have John Green and the lovely world of tumblr to thank for my puffy eyes and red nose (and the looks of confusion from my husband).

It is a beautiful book, so well done, and I will recommend it to everyone I know.

Next…

50 Shades of Grey. 

What I took away from this entry;

In the future when you ask someone how far they’ve gotten with a book, they will answer in percent rather then pages!
