this book is everything i needed to read. i needed a break from all the dark media i've been consuming, and honestly, even if i were reading anything else, this book is like a breath of fresh air. since this is marketed towards middle grade, i was expecting an easy read with little to no nuance, but there was and that was quite a shock to me at first. the pacing and use of dialogue was the highlight of reading this book. with this book, you get to feel like a kid. and even if you are seeing most of the book from the lens and explanation of a child, you still get to see the many facets that surround alex's life.
