Favorite Passage: “No sweetie. Just the opposite, I asked you to come so I could watch you live.” Chapter 31

This passage absolutely touched my heart because, during this part of the book her father is very ill and Ronnie expresses her feelings to him and he simply reply’s by saying that. By just that little sentence it really showed her and me as being the reader how much her father really loves and cares about her.
