This book was absolutely fantastic. It was recommended to me by a friend, and I loved it! The story starts off a little slow, but as you get further in it gets more interesting. Multiple points in the story, I got teary-eyed. I love the character development, and the way you can see the change. It’s a beautifully written book, and a great read.

It’s a heartwarming story and I think it could be important to read this book at least once in your lifetime. I love that you get several peoples POV’s as it gives more of a perspectiv what people think and feel. 
Why it didn’t get a higher rating was mainly because of minor things I got bothered with, for esample 
(I don’t know if it is in every copy or just mine) Via’s boyfriend’s POV. EVERY sentence that doesn’t start with a name starts with an small letter, and it drives me crazy!!!

This book is a true wonder, pun intended. I loved the multiple points of view and the uniqueness of each character. The experiences of Auggie were realistic and written perfectly for a middle grades audience as there was always a little lightness along with the darkness. Books that highlight the human experience are some of my favorites because I know they help develop understanding, empathy, and compassion. I’m looking forward to reading this with my children when they are around 5th grade.

This book was adorable and wonderful and I teared up so many times but like happy tears for quite a few of them 😅 the characters are just so wonderful - and of course some of them are just awful but we don't want to focus on them. I laughed out loud so many times at these character's jokes! Such a good read with important messages!
