5.0

Deeply nostalgic in a somewhat happy way, but more so in a reflective, mournful way. A coming of age story where the threshold between adolescence and manhood is explored. There is something to be said and discourse to be had about the idea that they were walking towards a dead body. In a figurative way, they were all walking towards death. I would have to read it again to really pick up on some of the deeper themes, but I defs vibe with this book.
