The way that finny (phineas) was portrayed and made into such a loving caring character was the most heartwarming effect of the story.

I had seen many tik toks about this book so I had high expectations. I kinda already had an idea of how it ended going into it. However I felt the last 50 ish pages of the book felt extremely rushed, whereas the rest of the book dragged on. It took me soooooo long to get through the first half of the book because of how slow it was. If the book’s pace was a lot faster, I probably would’ve given it 5 stars. Overall worth the read tho.
