Before I Go by Colleen Oakley (Romance)

Before I Go by Colleen Oakley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

*ARC provided by publisher in exchange for an honest review*

Okay, as per rules I cannot give any quotes because Before I Go won't be released until Jan 2015. But I will say a few things because my mind is reeling.
It is a must read. Perfectly executed, no unnecessary drama for the sake of it. (Which is a big thing with me. I can't stand stupid drama.) I was crying, laughing, and frustrated throughout this book. But if you've read the description that's kinda how it's supposed to be. You want the lead character (heroine) to thrive against all odds.
If you liked the following books: P.S. I Love You, The Notebook, A Walk To Remember...then definitely give this a shot.

I cried, cried, cried...and cried some more. It's heart-wrenching because almost everyone can relate to the topic in this book.
The Good, Bad, and Ugly
1) There were some places where I skipped over a page or two. I wanted more dialogue, but hey, what can you do?
2) There were times I wanted more from Daisy. I wanted her to fight for it. I wanted her to grab Jack by the collar and shout "LOVE ME" or something of that nature.
3) The ending was textbook execution. (Which I wasn't expecting.) I had a hard time reading the middle of this book. At times it felt like it went on and on, but then a new chapter would start with fresh drama, and I was so damn curious I couldn't step away.
4) It was well-written.
Minor note: She is laughing Jack. *PATS CHEST* Damn you, she is laughing!

Conclusion: 4 solid stars.
