Absolutely beautiful. In my top 5 of books I have ever read.
I didn't think I was going to cry until the end, and I just lost it. So heartbreaking but wholesome?? I can't even explain all the emotions this book conjures up, honestly.
I love the different ways that Palmer explored rhe presentation, I mean integrating the wordsearch with the 5 stages of grief in it was an amazing addition, especially since I don't think many people would've taken the time to recognise that they are all in there.
I love Egg. He's wonderfully funny, so sweet and so cute. I love the impact he had on Isaacs life, despite the reality of him, it didn't really matter. I'd say it's effectively a given than Egg didn't exist, and wasn't real but the idea of him being there like Nanny McPhee (lol) was wonderful. When you need me but do not want me I must stay, but when you want me but no longer need me, I must go!! That's Egg! Had me hysterical at the end.
Devastating and uplifting and heartbreaking and every other emotion you could ever feel.
Would like to read this from another perspective that isn't Isaac. Like how would it seem from the perspective of simply observing Isaac and his life?
