A book recomendation and a lesson learned

So I love to read. Ever since I was a little girl I remember LOVING to read.  My mom would take me to the library and I would leave with a stack of books too tall for me to carry.   Now, some people may say the books are read are "not real literature", but I love them anyways.  I love a good chick novel; or a great love story.  I love to read a book and cry; I love to read a book that is just plain fun.

So a girl at my work gave me a book that she said was "amazing".  She said she sat and cried while reading it.  I took it, saying "I don't have any time to read, but I'll take it".  I finished it in two days.

I read it before bed, I read it during my lunch break, I even read it while my I rocked Jack to sleep last night.  I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. 
This was the book:

I recommend this book for any mom, or for anyone who loves a good love story.  A warning though, this book is also extremely sad.  After reading it I couldn't stop thinking about it.  There is a great lesson about life in this book, one that will make you stop, slow down, and really take a look at what's important in life.

If you have read this book, I would love to know what you thought, and if you haven't find the time to read it.
