There is a reason this is a five star read. This writing is beautiful, intentional, and meaningful. Each word was written with purpose. Everything in this story; backstory, inner monologue, character, had reason. I LOVED how everything was wrapped up in the end. Of course I cried 😭 Ugh, please read!!
Last thought, Six-thirty is my favorite character. I highlighted so many of his parts. He is a wise dog.

gingerbiscuit's review
My advice is to CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS! I read for the sense of escapism so when I saw the hype around this book, I went for it. Unfortunately, the themes it covered it quickly became too much for me. I will pick it back up eventually as I really want to finish it, but with all the recent life events it was personally too much too soon.
Will update review once I pick it back up.

Check triggers and know it is not a light read. It covers the heavy themes well, though that is often done in a direct manner with 0 sugar coating which can be as great as it can be brutal.jennergyy's review against another edition
