The grief written into the book has been done so incredibly well. The amount of times I cried and at one point had to put the book down to sob for several minutes - it's beautiful. As someone who's maternal grandparents practically raised her, Sam's final talk with his grandfather reminded me of the final talks with my grandparents- the last 'I love yous' are the easiest and hardest to utter. Sam and Sadie's friendship is like most friendships between two people who have traumas in their lives - it's difficult and complicated but theee is so much love there between them. I stand by the decision to not have them end up together romantically! Sometimes staying friends with someone trumps being intimately together. Overall, I get the hype of this book. It's a hauntingly beautiful story about love, loss, trauma but friendships. l love it
