I did like it. But then I'm a glutton for sad and depressing things. I'm kinda weird that way :) I also think the characterization of both Brian and Justin was pretty accurate. I could see both characters behaving the way they did in the story. They may not be 100% spot on, but honesty they're much better than a lot of other fics I've read. I also liked getting to learn about Lisa's brave struggles with cancer, and I completely support the author using the fanfic medium as a way to share her story with a larger audience and maybe work through some of their own grief as well. But yes, definitely rec with caveats because it is not for the faint of heart.
