i like how this book stands out from some of Stephen kings other novels instead of having a main focus on the creepy or scary side of things this focuses on friendship and living life to the full for what you have left.

I have complicated feelings about this one. I am a huge fan of King usually, but this one really left me conflicted.

What I liked: fast pace, cinematic writing, loveable characters (to an extent)
What I didn't: tons of fatphobia (I almost put it down immediately), savior complex plot

I liked that this was quick and an interesting concept, but the themes did not sit well with me.
