This was such a heavy read. Check the content warnings if you plan to go into this one.

I really appreciated this story. Knowing that it’s based on Neal Shusterman’s son and that people really truly go through these feelings made it a really hard hitting read. I’m glad I read it and it definitely helped to prove why Neal Shusterman is one of my favorite authors. The way the story unfolded and was told was done in such a way that made everything hit harder. I truly appreciated this work.

I return to this book every couple of years. Through the dark, uncertain moments beautiful and relatable quotes put my mind at ease. 

There’s no sugarcoating mental illness here; raw and real.

i really really liked this book.
it was so gripping and just great actually. caden was a wonderful narrator and the pov shifts were amazing inclusions.
the links between the characters in the hospital and the crewmates were very very good and i love how it played with time a lot as you met the crewmates before caden had actually met the patients.

the twist with the treasure at the bottom of challenger deep was insane and gave me literal chills and how the puzzle piece fit in to pulling caden back was very nice
