3.5

I’ve been wanting to read this book for ages and I finally did. I really liked it, but at the same time didn’t love it. I enjoyed that it’s written like letters to someone (you) that made it very interactive for me. 

I also really like the wording and the sentences. One that sticked out for me was

”Inside the typewriter was a piece of white paper. On that piece of white paper Sam wrote, “Write about me sometime.” And I typed something back to her, standing right there in her bedroom. I just typed. “I will”” p.74

I feel like this book is one I would like to reread in the future, we will see if I do that! :D

So, I guess we are who we are for alot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.
