About this deal

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.

The author and her partner have quite a following of people who wanted to know their story and I imagine this to be the reason for the high ratings. Towards the end of the book, there was a letter that the author's mum had written where she talks about what a passionate environmentalist he was. Heartstrongis an unforgettable book about love, joy, grief, hope and finding a way to keep going in the darkest of times.Heartstrong is an unforgettable book about love, joy, grief, hope and finding a way to keep going in the darkest of times. 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. A few people have said to me that they're really excited to read this book but feel a put off or scared because they know it will make them sad.

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 was swept up in El’s and Chumps story, i had loosely followed it in the media but wasn’t fully across it. I wish she would’ve just owned that instead of trying to tell me her upbringing/past was as bad as mine. It is just so clear that they are such a beautiful family and I think it was really special that they shared some intimate family memories - I feel honored to have read them.Family, friends, lawyers and doctors helped to give Ellidy the chance to keep a small part of Chumpy alive. 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’m not sure whether not really knowing Ellidy or Chumpy all that well in the public eye has anything to do with it, as I don’t follow her on any socials.

She loves the ocean, animals, the outdoors, sewing, cooking, camping, surfing, travelling, yoga, food and wine. It was a perfect Wednesday morning when Alex 'Chumpy' Pullin kissed his partner, Ellidy, goodbye to go spearfishing. Heartstrong is an unforgettable book about love, joy, loss, grief, hope and finding a way to keep going in the darkest of times.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. I do want to start following her story on social media but as for the book, not a 'good read' at all. I think it is just so apparent that Chumpy was an incredible and other-wordly human being that touched so many lives and has left an incredible legacy.

it was the first time I felt that anything was added that was not along the line of what a "good bloke/life of the wedding" he was an individual.

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. A quote that really stuck with me from this book was 'a flame that burns twice as bright, burns half as long'.I had seen this book everywhere and I had it on my list to read for ages, but I wasn’t at a place in my grief journey where i felt i could read this. Although the writing style was definitely different for me, the experiences, trauma and growth throughout this book, are memorable. I feel like I can’t give a star rating because it feels like I’m judging someone’s life and experiences. 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.
