Tear Jerker

Where does Don't Die, My Love rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the best books I have ever listened to. I read it in high school and it is still just as good almost 15 years later.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

You are not human if this book does not make you cry.

The depth of the love between the two main characters

All characters sounded similar and shrill at times. The content of the story was good.

Movies

I absolutely love this heartbreaking story! This is one of many I wish would be picked up by a network to be made into a movie. My husband whom was also my childhood sweetheart passed away at 26 because of complications from cystic fibrosis. This book really got to me because it’s so relatable to me. To love that hard, it is was so hard to think I would ever be happy again. However, I am now remarried and with a little boy of my own. Lifetime or hallmark should really look into making movies out of Larlene’s work.
