This book also contains photographs and essays by family and friends and an introduction by John Green who was a friend of Esther; he said in an interview that if he hasn’t known Esther, he never would have written The Fault in Our Stars.

My Opinion :
I really liked this book because even if the subject might seem sad, the story is full of happiness and humor. It’s really well written and the story is so attractive that I just couldn’t stop reading it, in two days I had finish the book. This book make you realize how lucky you are and even if you feel sad or something bad is happening to you it make you see that your life could be worst.
