It took forever for me to get into the story, I wasn’t really invested in it until probably there were probably 30 pages left. The ending made sense, was good,

sad, reflective, and did a good job of giving a realistic portrayal of grief.

would I read again? Probably not, but the voice felt like a 14 year old intelligent boy and I appreciated that.
