I loved this book. This author’s writing is so moving. I liked the characters and the plot and how everything was connected. This is a great story that I intend to revisit some day.
p.s. Eddie and marguerite’s love was enchanting

I walked into this book expecting it to be sad and you expect for me not to shed any tears right? Wrong! I was definitely tearing up especially towards the end. I just don't even know how to explain my thoughts towards this book. In the beginning it felt like something I'd read for school so I got a little nervous but I should learn to be patient because I just started the book at that point. I like how this author attempts to tackle the concept of heaven into his own interpretation. And the way he incorporates the people that main character has encountered is genius. There so many shocking moments in this book too. Ughhhhh I can't really express how this book made me feel into words but just know I thought it was great. I'm literally about to read the second one right now!

There is one thing that bugged me though

on the third person part where he is suppose to forgive his dad for his father's abuse kinda didn't sit right with me. Also the scene where his mother was sexually assaulted and the third person, Ruby was excusing Mickey's actions because he was drunk and sad cuz he got laid off of a job. Like what?! If I didn't like the previous parts of the book and wasn't so stubborn I would've put it down.
