It is incredible to me the amount of love Esther had in her life. I wish I could have known her, but rather, she can be an inspiration to me to let my family and friends know that I love them.

Please get yourself a box of tissues if you're going to read this book! I am so glad that Esther Earl's parents and friends have shared her story. It's really beautiful, but sad, but also funny and uplifting. I really hope people will continue to remember Esther and keep her light strong.

This book was beautiful. Although some parts were slow, it was an amazing read, filled with paragraphs from her parents and her friends.

Esther Earl is such an inspiration. She kept her funny, sweet personality even though she knew she was going to die. I find that amazing, many people would stop trying to live after awhile, and begin to wonder what the point was if you were going to die anyways. It's sad that people like Ester have to die when they're so young, because as it says in the books, 'the world needs more people like Ester' and I completely agree. 
Even though this book is merely a collection of diary entries and blog posts, they weren't boring or dull, you could tell how alive Esther was just by reading her words, her jokes, her emotions. I would highly recommend this book, it might even make you cry!!
