This was good. There were a few things that just felt really unbelievable, but overall it was a sweet story.

This book displays grief in its rawest form. I liked this book overall but some of it was quite problematic. The main character catfishing the daughter of the man that murdered his mom was indeed one of them. I enjoyed the other characters, their stories, and what they offered to the story. Overall, I did enjoy this book despite some questionable thoughts and decisions made by the main character.

A simple yet comforting story about a teenager's response to loss. Relatable even to those that are yet to lose someone close to them. I'm always a sucker for unlikely friendships and so ,despite the annoying features of the protagonist initially, the group dynamic of the four main characters helped gloss over that. Pretty decent but not revolutionary.
