The book itself is beautifully written. While I was a bit bored in the first half (it felt a bit cliché at first), I absolutely loved the second half of the book. Going in, I had no idea what this book was about, and I think that's the best way to approach this story. It's a sad story with a happy ending and a lot of emotional moments (it literally made me cry), and it's short too. While I'm definitely not the target audience, I was pleasantly surprised, and strongly recommend reading it if you're interested! I think if you don't know what the book is about, it will have a greater emotional impact on you, so I suggest not reading anything about it and just dive in. Go along with Bug on this journey of grief and self-discovery!

I did feel like some of the mystery part felt more obvious to me, but perhaps it would be different for its intended audience
