DNF at 53% because it's honestly pretty weird and the dog thinks people are sexy. Might pick it up again tho honestly.

Fantastic. Enzo, Denny, Eve, and Zoë ❤️ Have never cried so hard at the end of a book. So many great annotations and quotes to remember. Can’t wait to reread

Read this while on the treadmill running for a virtual running competition, but so it might be a little skewed, but I enjoyed the book. Definitely not a book for young children, but would fit probably best with young adult or new adult.

Enzo, the main character of the book and the dog, was different than I thought he would be, in a good way! I'll be honest that I picked this book up after seeing the trailer for the movie, so I didn't expect much, but I liked the fact that Enzo learns and has all this knowledge about the world he learns from the TV.

The story was not as emotional as I thought it would be, but it was still sad and definitely pulled at some heartstrings.

Unpopular opinion but I didn't particularly care for this

Such a fun and wholesome book. Dogs become such a part of the family, and this book brought that to life. The innocence of a dog's perspective describing the sometimes tumultuous events of his owner's life was a rejuvenating perspective. This book made me think about what is important in life and fully engulfed me into another world.
