Summary
Dear Edie, I wanted you to know so many things. I wanted to tell you them in person, as you grew. But it wasn’t to be.
Jess never imagined she’d be navigating single motherhood, let alone while facing breast cancer. A life that should be just beginning is interrupted by worried looks, heavy conversations, and the possibility of leaving her daughter to grow up without her. Propelled by a ticking clock, Jess knows what she has to do: tell her daughter everything. How to love, how to lose, how to forgive, and, most importantly, how to live when you never know how long you have.
From best-selling author Laura Pearson comes her most devastating book yet. Honest, heart-wrenching, and emotionally raw, I Wanted You To Know is a true love letter to life: to all its heartache and beauty, to the people we have and lose, to the memories and moments that define us.
I Wanted You To Know is Laura Pearson's third novel.

Tearjerker alert!!
This book was recommended to me by an online book club and something in the blurb pulled me in!! I have cried like I’ve never cried at a book before and I am a cryer! Beautifully written and narrated and I hope I never have to go through what the people in the book go through.. why read it then I asked myself? Sometimes it’s just good to know what others have or are going through I guess and this one tells it well. Heart wrenching subject so be warned.

What can I say about a book on death, that I enjoyed it sounds wrong. I ugly cried at the end, characters you can relate to.

The saddest book ever ! But so good
Well written and well narrated. So sad though ! I love ld that it didn’t sugar coat anything but the last few chapters were a very tough read.
