Wow is this book full of heart and emotion. A beautifully written story that explores friendship, self-acceptance and -discovery, and grief (in the many facets of life). This is a book I will be thinking about for a while.

I picked up this book based on the cover and title alone aka I didn't read the synopsis. Not what I thought the book would be, and it packed an emotional punch. I'm sure I would have eventually picked up the book if I read the synopsis, but I do avoid books where there's a chance of tears. So many tears.
