I loved the feels this book gave me. Krueger has written a coming-of-age novel centered on a Midwestern America slice of life filled with mystery, intrigue, death, simple joys, and love. The protagonist is a 13-year-old son of a minister whose best friends are his siblings and who is exploring his independence, self-realized beliefs, and faith in God as well as his own human relationships and newfound adolescence. Overall, it was uplifting and a fantastic read/listen.

I would rate this 3.5 because the first half was super slow, but once it picked up I really enjoyed it. Very deep and somber book that explores a teenage boy and his experiences leading him to grow up, as well as how we deal with grief and move forward in the face of heartbreak.
