What It Is About - FIVE Things You Need to Know:
1. *Michael and Kit met thirteen years ago. As different as these two men were, they were also connected by a strong bond.
2. *As they got to know each other, they fell more and more in love.
3. *Kit begins to not feel great and is having pain in certain parts of his body. After a visit to the doctor, he learns he has cancer.
4. *At first Michael and Kit learn the cancer is treatable and he should be fine. After several different consultations, they learn his prognosis is terminal.
5. *Michael Ausiello documents their eleven month journey while including flashbacks to different aspects of their thirteen-year relationship.
What I Thought Of It - FIVE Observations/Reflections:
1. *I love it when the author narrates their own story. It is especially a rewarding experience when the story is a memoir. Michael did a phenomal job of sharing his story via audio.
2. *As much as the reader knows what is going to happen, based on the title, I kept having hope throughout the whole story that things would turn out differently.
3. *There were so many moments when I laughed out loud at these two men and cried real big tears as I listened to their emotional journey.
4. *Michael has a tremendous way with words which makes sense as he is a writer in New York City.
5. *I can't remember the last time I was so emotionally invested in a story like I was with this novel. This is truly a MUST-READ!!!
Who Should Read It: This adult memoir should be read by everyone. I posted online that I want to live my life even more to the fullest after reading about Michael and Kit. This story will make you a better human being. Happy Reading!
