4.75
- Medium read (6 - 8 hours)
- The overlap between perspectives, while necessary, was repetitive. Also, Aaron came off as way too self-pitying and was kind of annoying.
- Impactful read: I love how the book was organized and how in the third section, the author outlined the long-term impact of Aaron and Tillie's deaths with snippets from future new and diverse characters.
