Agnes, Moira and Boone all used to be friends until something happened in elementary school. They all have their troubles. Agnes has Progeria, a disease that causes her body to age 7
times faster than a normal person’s body would. Moira has always been Agnes’s
sidekick and loyal protector. Moira is goth and is insecure about her plus size
body. Boone lost his father and his mother starts to emotionally slip from his
grasp as well. The three embark on a journey through life, sorrow, love,
friendship, and hope. They have 100 days to cherish one another until tragedy
strikes.
I was not a fan of this book. I felt as though it was hard to
like any of the main characters. This book started way slow and took quite a
while to get into. I did however like the secondary characters. I did enjoy the
life lessons that were tucked away in this book and I enjoyed the setting.
