I really liked Mary and Cobb's relationship. They were true soulmates, and lived and loved life. I was drawn to Mary's quirky humor. I loved the many aspects of nature and animals throughout the book which is good because I love both a lot. I havent read a book lately with so much mention of animals/nature.I really enjoyed visiting places like Indonesia which I probably will never see personally. It allowed me to an armchair traveler. Even though I knew it was coming her death was so sad. I felt like I was there personally. My husband and I were with my Stepmom when she died and I sort of relived that moment which happened almost 8 years ago. Someone earlier had mentioned they didnt like mention of brands. I rather like it when an author does that because it makes the book more real to me, like mentioning real products and real companies. I liked the Q&A part at the end of the book.Probably our group didnt need this so much because we have the author visiting us and we have the opportunity to ask questions, but most readers wont get that chance.
Anyway, I did enjoy reading it, and glad to be one of the first readers.
