Maybe one day

I'm going to be honest here. I gave The Fault in Our Stars 5 stars. I loved it! But this book? Maybe One Day is everything I wished TFioS was - only I didn't know it until I read it.

There was some romance (and can I just say how much I adored Calvin?), but the story was about Zoe and Olivia's friendship more than anything else.

Maybe One Day explores the boundaries of friendship, and what happens when the rules change and the world no longer looks the way you expected it to. And it does so in such a perfectly honest and raw way that you can't possibly be the same person when you finish the book as you were when you began. Melissa Kantor explores grief, love, and illness, but she does it in such a way that you can't stop turning the pages.

My only advice? Have tissues handy. But whatever you do - read this book. We need more books that focus on friendship rather than romance, and I hope this is only the beginning of a new trend.
