I can’t shake off the grime, the drilling thought of knowing that absolutely everyone was right about me all along.

I enjoyed this book as it was a fresh premise and well written multi-POV but I felt like it could’ve had more depth. 

It follows two brothers across two timelines, pre and post death and delves into grief and the pressure boys have to not express their emotions but as the themes were powerful, I think it could’ve had more depth and been explored better.
