Sobbed my eyes out when I read this at school. Added another character I kin to my list. holy moley man what a debut book. Big trigger warning though. Stay safe, and know that you are loved and that you are enough.

“You never know what someone is going through. Be kind. Always.” - is the quote that best describes this book for me.

Every character, every flaw, all the differences between them, their childhood & every struggle they went through makes it real. Someone in our world is one of these characters. You’ll just never know who.

Finished this book within 10 days. It was a really reflective book. I almost cried at the climax of what happened.

The book beautifully captures, grief, death and guilt. It also explains very well the concept of the afterlife and why we believe in it if we do.
