Not just because I’m a cry baby, but because it’s damn good writing. Cook got me crying at regular intervals throughout the book. I probably won’t have a tomorrow even if I don’t go.” And with that sentence the tears were going again. The book says “But I’m growing weaker every day, every hour, every minute. And the peak of the sadness I felt was when Katie asked if she could go with him on the last day of taking care of it. Throughout the book we are told that Charlie is taking care of a boat for the summer for people who are away. Katie is dying, but she now has the chance to live a little. ![]() Something we wouldn’t have seen happen beforehand. He is accepting that his daughter has very limited time so he allows her to go to the swim meet. This scene shows him loosening the reigns and accepting that the trigger has already been pulled. He knew that a triggering event for her XP could happen at any time so he took every single precaution he could (I’ll come back to him shortly). Charlie has a swim meet and the coach from the college he wanted to go to was there (Katie set it up without him knowing), and Katie manages to get her dad to take her to watch. I’m probably the only person that found this the saddest part, but the way it was included in the book, and the significance that the end of Katie’s life being the beginning of her being alive was amazingly written and place within the book. ![]() This next part of the book was where I started crying. ![]()
