I liked the story because it has something that a lot of people can relate to, even though your loved ones didn't die, I think it still is worth it to read. It also teaches a lesson: when someone dies, it's for a good purpose. As Winston Pawling, an 11 year old African American boy who got David's heart as a transplant says, "I used to lie up here and make deals with God. Like, if God would give me one year to be normal, like my friends, just one, I'd give Him anything He wanted." This showed that David died not because Darcy may suffer, but so that Wiston may live on.
This book also goes with adventure as well as tradegy, which is what I like to hear. Sam and Darcy travel all the way to Miami just to look for David's heart. Untill they get there, they also travel through USA. Another reason why I like this book so much is how Darcy is a lot like me. Although I don't wish to grow up as fast as she does, both of us can relate to the past and the present. For one thing, both of us don't like love, the "girlfriend and boyfriend" kind of thing. As it says in the book, "But now I knew that love was a poisonous thing. It had turned me into a murderer. I would die with my secret before I could tell."
My favorite part in the book was when Darcy finally found out that David loves her, no matter what, and forgives her. For one thing, she doesn't feel guilty anymore. Instead, it's the other way around. She now feels free, and this is how I feel whenever I feel really guilty. This part shows that now this is the ending of the story, and yet, David's heart and soul isn't. In fact, to Darcy, he is still alive.
