Absolutely blew through this book, it had me hooked immediately. Loved the MC and how we were shown his thought process, life choices and growth journey. This book made me think, I felt very attached to multiple characters for various reasons throughout the whole book. This book made me feel emotional in a new way and was very thought provoking, it beautifully written but still a fast and captivating read.

Such a sweet book, and the theme of empathy is very timely and needed in the context of what’s happening in the world. 

I loved how throughout the book, less so in the beginning and a few more times towards the end, I stumbled over an odd sentence. Something that didn’t seem like it’s from someone who doesn’t feel or understand feelings. This wasn’t ever on the nose, but done subtly, and really showed the development of the main character.
