This book was so sweet and beautiful. I love Andrew so much and was rooting for him the whole time. I really love how it talks about grief and isolation. Also the ppl from the train sub, I love them all very much. Carl, however, is the biggest bitch baby there is. I literally had to put the book down several times to rant abt how much he sucked. But I appreciate he was there, because that showed the spectrum of grief.

I also love how him and Peggy stayed friends. I don’t know, it was really nice.Moderate: Suicidal thoughts, Suicide attempt, Alcoholism, and Death of parent
