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.

The book follows the friendship of two boys, both affected by traumatic events, who are both lovable in their own very different ways. 

An easy and heartwarming, but at times heartbreaking, read that explores the struggles of feeling either nothing at all or feeling too deeply.
