I have never written a review in my life but, this story inspried me. My tears just kept falling starting with the 6th chapter. The characters in the stories are well written. The love story and the inspiring lust for life after so many years of wanting to waste it away was very emotional. Very brillant short read and with a none to happy ending. How can I put the inspiration that this story has portrayed is hard to put in words. It makes you think that the death penalty in our current society might not be the best solution. Life itself is beautiful and it should be cherished. I hope everybody takes the time to read this story and enjoy the insightful brillance of life.
