The First Third by Will Kostakis
4.0
Trigger warnings:
I honestly don't know why it took me so long to get around to reading this because I've read Will Kostakis' stuff before and really enjoyed it. And yet it took me literal years to pick this up.
That being said, I fell instantly into this story, which is about a teenage boy whose grandmother ends up in hospital and gives him her bucket list for him to complete, all of which are things about bringing his family back together. It's a surprisingly funny story a lot of the time, and I loved all of the characters and the complexity of the family relationships.
It's also a book that gave me a ton of Feelings With a Capital F and I may have cried a little bit at the end. If you haven't read it, please do.
