Didn’t expect to be moved to tears but this book was so vivid in its depictions of the characters, and I found myself so attached to their story. A beautiful book about books! It’s truly a lovely feeling to experience in real time exactly what the book is trying to express - about reading being a way of building communities, and how we read to feel not alone. The writing is punchy, succinct, and perfectly witty. Must say I am apprehensive as to the
adoption of a child being used as a plot device and as a way for A.J. to grow up but I do think it was handled very nicely
Definitely will be thinking about this book for a long time.
