I did like it - it was alright, middle of the road goodness - it was both heartbreaking and sweet all at once.
The beginning started off great (as much as the book was about anyway) and the beginning kind of waned for me, I get that he was grieving but there was a lot of poor me going on with him and I felt that was a bit much.
The end was great though, I was happy it ended the way it did - I felt like he kind of went through the stages of grief almost throughout the course of the book which was interesting to read, his emotions and actions corresponding to each of them and why he acted how he did during each event past/present.
Good read, not the best read though (for me.....)
