That was gut wrenching.
I briefly remember watching the movie at the theatre when it came out. I would’ve been a teenager and I remember it being sad and I really liked the idea of the cello (I’m not sure why those are the only memories I have).
I decided to read the book and this was incredibly sad but I loved seeing Mias’ memories. It was interesting to see how she and Adam met and how family oriented this book is. It’s a beautiful but heartbreaking story.
