Amazing book. Truthfully. There’s nothing I can say about it that hasn’t already been said, but I truly enjoyed this. I felt every mistake, and I felt the connection those boys had. We can come together through a shared love of something. We can watch them make mistakes, and we can suffer, but we will love them, and we will love other through them.
