Summary:
Moments.
Every life is made of thousands of them, each one strung together with the next. Some are yellow and happy, some are blue and sad, and some…
Some wipe out color altogether.
“I love you,” is what I should have told Maverick.
“I’m sorry.”
“I’m still fighting.”
Instead I just watched him leave.
Now my husband, my everything is battling for each breath, and all I can do is stare at the machines as the clock ticks off precious minutes.
The doctors said the first twenty-four hours are critical—but every moment is critical.
You never know which will be your last.
This is our story, and I’m not ready for it to end.
I had a lot of trouble connecting with the characters in this story. I'm not sure why but I couldn't really feel the chemistry between Alieya and Maverick. I didn't really care for Maverick for a majority of the book. I took Alieya's side when it came to him because I thought that he could have tried harder to be there for her.
The plot was well thought out and I thought that some of the flashbacks added to the story appropriately. I did have an issue with how long the flashbacks centered around their spring break from school. I'm not sure why there was so much focus on that and not more after the fact.
I found the fact that Alieya used colors to express emotions in her life and her drawings. I love when authors use alternative means to explain emotions of the characters that are more creative.
Overall, this was a good book but I felt the sadness in it was overwhelming. I would have wanted a better balance between the character's issues and the times that they were happy.
