I cried multiple times in this book so I guess I’d say I cared about the characters. Or maybe I was just identifying with their feelings. In any case I enjoyed this book for the way it made me think about life, relationships and mortality but the ending was so sad to me. I guess I wanted things to magically work out. I mean Amy dying too!?! 😫 But I guess that also was to impart a lesson, maybe the main lesson of the book - we don’t know what’s coming in life so live it with purpose.
Graphic: Death, Mass/school shootings, and Death of parent
