Admirable. That's the word I can use for the way this book is written. Not only does it feel fresh but it's also something that instantly drags you in, regardless of where you left off. I also want, really want, to make a point of just how good the author manages to switch from light conversation and banter to deeply serious and deep topics and trains of thought. It caught me off guard at first but after witnessing through the entire book it became something truly great to watch and I felt like an athlete barely starting seeing their senior do the most complicated things a sport has to offer, it was great.
Onto the book, the story was nice and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Adam was very lovable, as were the people that surrounded him, and I felt connected to all of them. It paints the picture of their lives quite well, even when it only has a few paragraphs to do so. I liked the musings and analyses of ideas and thoughts the characters have a lot and they didn't feel unnatural at any point.
Overall I really, really enjoyed this book despite how short it felt (which make no mistake, feels perfectly right. It ends where it should and needs, and it feels right). Few are my complaints, so much so that I don't even feel the need to put them in this review. Release was beautiful.
