Intense book, but not in the mindset for it right now. Maybe one day.

This was a book to behold. My god. It was devastating. I think I cried every other chapter. I had to take breaks regularly because my emotions got too much.

Johnny’s story is so heartbreaking. It’s also an excellent use of a, somewhat, inconsistent timeline as he comes in and out of memories and consciousness. This was recommended by a friend and I can see why this book was given high praise by them. Sure, the writing style is something to get used to but I’ve read other books with similar styles so it was fairly easy to understand. I just loved it all, really.
