Once Ryder “got his hearing back”, I had some issues with it. First of all, the importance for everyone that Ryder actually used his voice to speak. Joy basically forced him to read to her even though it caused him being anxious. The book also felt all over the place towards the end and it felt really rushed. Sometimes, I had to go back one page to reread in order to understand what was going on.Graphic: Cancer, Cursing, Death of parent, Grief, Medical content, and Sexual content
