Needing to shake off the rust...

EDIT: Damn it I deleted the entire damn thing by accident! Now I have to do all of that again! Ugh, I am not happy!

To anyone, you might be surprised to hear that I'm a reviewer here albeit a good but lacking kind of reviewer. It's been a long time since I have reviewed a story at all and I felt like shaking off the rust by reviewing a story that I loved when someone recommended it. Welp, let's see if this guy still has it in him to review. Oh and for the rating of any story and beyond I'm going to utilize a ten-star rating system, eight and above being in my recommended lists

---

Story: Simple Fate, Tough Acceptance, Blessed Conclusion

Tags: Romance, Sad, Tragedy

Rating: Everyone

Characters: Cheerilee, Big Macintosh

The premise of the story is basically this, Cheerilee is reaching the throes of death as a debilitating disease not only cripples her but leaves her with exactly three days to live out her life. Broken by this such revelation, Big Mac decided to let her last days be the best she's ever had in her life.

If there is one thing the story gets right the first time, it's emotion. Throughout my first read-through, I was having an emotional roller-coaster ride. From sadness, to worry, to elated joy, all of my emotions were being twisting and turning for poor Cheerilee. Especially right towards the end. I am a sucker for emotional bags of feels and when I find a story that manages to get it done right, I will be glad to have found it and probably recommend it to others as well.

But even after the first read through of it, I read it again to notice a lot of grammar and spelling issues. I won't point them out as they're somewhat numerous but its there and it does lose a bit of points for that. It's not detracting mind you but it does get annoying nowadays.

Now I'm going onto the topic of the disease that's crippling and killing her. The disease in question is one everyone has seen and/or dealt with from a friend or itself, cancer. This rather touches me on a more personal level as I've seen this numerous times. Despite seeing it so many times, it pains my heart every time I hear that someone has it. I can clearly see the pain gnawing on Cheerilee when she discovers it and I wholeheartedly wanted to hug her for it. No one should go through it ever, not ever.

Around after the news was received she fell into a depressive state, I mean I would if I were to learn that I have two days left to live. After a big chat with Big Mac (that is basically a confession of love), she decided to live her life without regrets. So what does she do first? Go tell the kids the news about her not being around anymore. The moment I red that I knew that I was going to well in tears hearing the childrens' concern for their teacher. one by one, they voice their concern and although she tried her best to not shed tears, Cheerilee ends up shedding them. I felt so sad upon this section of the book, I literally had to back away from the computer and give myself a day away from the book just to gather my thoughts.

When I reached the climax, well, I fully felt my tears falling. I was still trucking it but I knew that my heart just shattered from this whole read. Excuse me for a moment, I need some tissues.

Well, That's my review in a nutshell. So what can I say about this? While the spelling and grammar issues are very apparent and does get annoying to see upon a second readthrough, the emotion is still there as I felt my heart shatter yet again from reading this fantastic book. Were there little spelling or grammar errors, I'd probably give this a higher score but for now, it's still a masterpiece in terms of emotion. So my given score?

Score: 8.2/10

Now if you'll excuse me again, I need to hug out my feelings

EDIT TWO: Originally, this review was much more bigger and detailed, but as noted above, I accidently deleted the whole thing and haven't saved a backup of it so I had to shorten it just so I can get it over with. I'm sorry about that guys...
