i thought this was such a cool idea for a book and thought it was executed really well. i love any book with found family elements, especially when it involves an older person. the relationships formed and described were the backbone of this story imo. the only thing i struggled with was the ending. it wasn't exactly what i imagined or thought fit well with the story but it wasn't bad. also i really want the author to release a book that fully tells the story that the main character was writing. i loved it.

This was such an interesting book. It was confusing at times but overall such an intriguing concept. The ending was heartbreaking yet felt fitting. Definitely worth the read!
