This was a really good story, definitely one of those types of books that is written for people who love being around books. There were a lot more plots and characters than I expected, and I think they all were given just enough time, but maybe could have had more? I wasn't as emotionally impacted by the emotional parts, but based on the tone of the book I'm not sure I was really supposed to be. The book felt more about the general ups, downs, and surprises of life in a way that I don't think was meant to be super heavy.

4.5

What’s not to love about this book. This was heartwarming, pacy and plot heavy. It felt like it is more like YA for the right reasons although covers some pretty heavy topics.
