This book will sit in your bones and seep through your pores.

If you are a parent.
If you have a sibling.
If you have ever been a teenager.
If you have ever been in love.
If you have ever pined for another.

If you have struggled with depression.
If you’ve ever felt overlooked, unworthy, or alone.

If you have felt overwhelmed with guilt.
Overcome with grief.

If you like big words and beautiful writing and deep connections to a story.
If you like Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow or Kevin Wilson’s Now is Not the Time to Panic, you will love this book.

If you want to be reminded what it feels like to be alive.
What it feels like to be lost and then found.

If any of the above speaks to you, you must read this book.
Check the trigger warnings.
It is heavy and intense but also accurate and handled with care.

This is the author’s debut novel which blows my mind. The witty banter, attention to detail, and imagery are unmatched.

Enjoy this gem. It is truly special.

This was such a beautifully written book. The mental health representation is phenomenal. I love how the author tackles so many difficult topics that affect us all, in a way that validates and brings hope. Can’t wait to read his future books as well.
