This is the kind of book that I know when I am going in it's going to make me feel all the feels and I try to deny it but I can't. This story of Cash and Delaney is a beautiful exploration of friendship, family, grief, and love. You are rooting for them from the first page. The secondary characters are also great and I would give anything to have a Pawpaw like Pep. This coming-of-age story is timeless and beautifully written. Though this novel deals with mature themes like substance use, death, and sexual assault, I think it's appropriate and will appeal to some middle grade readers.

A 10/10 book for me. The kind of book that just makes your soul feel good, gives you things to think about and makes you love the good in humanity. Loved the narrator for this book too- just a calming voice which helped with the vibe!
