Chapter Twenty to Chapter Twenty-Five

Gus made Isaac and Hazel to make a euology for him, and he made them read him because he wanted to hear, what they would said in his funeral, so he called it a pre-funeral.

After that, I won´t say what happened because that would be a spoiler and ruin the grand finale, I just can say that there´s another meeting between Peter and Hazel, and he explain things that Hazel wanted to know, she discovered that Anna was in real life his death daughter; and there was a letter that Gus send to Peter asking him to make a eulogy for Hazel, and in that letter is where I had experience different emotions at the same time at the beggining I was laughing, but throw the letter I started crying and I couldn´t stop.


The book really touched, and I usually don´t cry about anything, but this book was different and I love it!
