It took a while for the plot to get going. The book was enjoyable. It wasn't written for my age group, so I found it a little predictable (except for the end).

That end- I'm crying so much. That was so unexpected😭

This book was so depressing. I know the audience is a younger one, but I felt this story was very surface level and sad.

This book... I can't express how much it destroyed me. It is so sad but at the same time beautiful. It's a simple and easy read but emotionally hard. I wish I could express all my feelings right now but I'll summarize what I think: Joseph deserved so much more.
