*Spoiler alert: Quotes from the book*


“There was before you and there was during you. For some reason, I never thought there would be an after you,” is a quote from the book that tells us that life is unpredictable and we cannot even imagine what tomorrow might bring us. 


“We’re all just a bunch of sad people doing what we have to do to make it until tomorrow,” is an extract from the book that states the sad reality of life. 


“Maybe the best way to cope with the loss of the people we love is to find them in as many places and things as we possibly can." 


“No matter how much you love someone, you can still do despicable things to them," is a quote from the book that tells us that sometimes we don't even realise the weight of our actions and how they can affect someone else. 


“sometimes we do things for people we love, even though

we wouldn’t choose to do those things for ourselves,” is a quote from the book that illustrates to us that when we station a person above us, we do things we never would even have thought of doing if it was for us. 


“I miss you all the time, even when we’re together,” is an extract from the book that describes how we can get lonely sometimes, even when we are not alone.
