My rating doesn’t reflect the quality, just my personal experience reading. It was hard to follow at first because of the formatting and colloquial writing style, but I did get into a rhythm with it. Ultimately it was just so dang sad, and while there was a glimpse of hope at the end, it was so so sad, and right now everything is sad and so it was rough.

This book will having you feel every emotion. Each character had something real and relatable to. The twists and turns remind us life isn't easy, not everything meets the eye, and life is short.
