"Friends are the family we choose for ourselves." (p. 219)
Triggers:
While the author had a great writing style for telling stories, I felt this book should have come with trigger warnings. There were disturbing and depressing elements to this story.
The main character Arthur was reminiscent of A Sick Day for Amos McGee by Phillip Stead. And then things got darker.
