I can always count on this book as a re-read to make me feel feelings. And it definitely hits different as a parent.

I feel like this book has changed me in some way, but I don’t really know what that way is yet.

Reading this after having watched the movie a few times during my childhood, I gotta say the movie did a very excellent job in amplifying the sadness of Leslie's death. The book added more character into Jess' family background that the movie didn't quite touch upon. 

But I think this is one of the rare cases where I preferred the movie more than the book.

This book is very sad. A child dies and I found it a little harsh, but it has a good lesson to it
