As many others have said, it truly encapsulates the raw truth about grief, and the journey of losing a loved one, but beyond all else, it is a book filled with hope and light amidst the darkness. I knew nothing about Ellidy or Chumpy before reading and now I feel that Ellidy is one of the strongest people ever.

I get that the story is tragic but felt that it was poorly written and really gave me almost no insight or feeling for both the author and Chumpy Pullin.

Although the writing style was definitely different for me, the experiences, trauma and growth throughout this book, are memorable. Heartstrong is just such an unforgettable book about love, joy, loss, grief, hope and finding a way to keep going in the darkest of times. I started and finished this book in one sitting I was captivated by this incredible memoir that shared the story of Ellidy, Minnie and ofcourse the story of Alex ‘Chumpy’ Pullin in life and in death, I’ve never felt this before about someone I’ve never met but I’m in awe of the human he was and the lives he touched and just the way he lived his life. Heartstrong***is an unforgettable book about love, joy, grief, hope and finding a way to keep going in the darkest of times. I’m so sorry for all of the loss that has followed you in the last few years but I’m truly grateful you are both here.

The strength that you have is truly INCREDIBLE, I know it can’t always be easy but I truly believe your story will help so many people in all different walks of life. I feel like I can’t give a star rating because it feels like I’m judging someone’s life and experiences. I used to think that everything happens for a reason, but I have known a lot of people that have gone through really horrible things and losing their lives young over the past 2-3 years, so my mind shift has definitely changed to sometimes really shit things just happen to the best of people which just breaks my heart. In the hours that followed a suggestion was made: did Ellidy want to harvest Chumpy's sperm and try for the baby they both wanted so deeply?

In the hours that followed a suggestion was made, did Ellidy want to harvest Chumpy's sperm and try for the baby they both wanted so deeply? I do want to start following her story on social media but as for the book, not a 'good read' at all.

I don't think I have ever cried so much while reading a book, and my heart broke with every page of reading how unfair and heartbreaking the loss that Ellidy and Chumpy's family have been through. It was a perfect Wednesday morning when Alex 'Chumpy' Pullin kissed his partner, Ellidy, goodbye to go spearfishing. My rating doesn’t take away from their experiences at all - I just don’t know what it was about this that I couldn’t get into.
