The Night I Spent with Aubrey Fisher by Christopher M. Tantillo

5.0

"Sometimes we have to get lost to find our way."

I stumbled across Christopher Tantillo on TikTok and was intrigued and wanted to read this book and I am so glad I did. If you are a fan of John Green you will love Christopher Tantillo.

This book is so beautifully written and I could not put it down. Such a real and honest depiction of grief, loss, depression, anxiety and how those things can effect us and the world around us.

When tragedy hits no relationship goes unscathed. From his parents, his ex-girlfriend to his best friends all his relationships suffered and were damaged but no matter how much they love you sometimes it takes someone from the outside to see you and really be able to put you on the right path. That is what Aubrey was for Grayson.

I also loved that while the book had a "happy" ending it didn't end with everything thing in a neat little bow. It was realistic and a messy with there being work that still needed to be done. It just felt honest as we are all works in progress.

It's still early in 2024 but I have no doubt this will be one of my favorite books of the year. Can't wait to read more in the future from Chris.
