I loved the story and the character development, but I feel that the blatant ableism and harmful mindsets portrayed in this book dampened a story that could've and should've been much more emotional and impactful than it was.

This book will make you cry

The dynamic between Will and Lou is this book's greatest aspect. The way this book captivates their differences and similarities is just chef's kiss, also the character developments!!!

I am shocked by how much I loved this book. I had very low standards, but ended up really appreciating it. What I feel like is done best is the relationships the characters have with each other. Louise and Katrina may have been my favorite one. The characters were written to honestly that they were believable and beautiful and I feel like the ending was perfect. Not an easy read, but a beautiful one.
