"I'm tired of it," I said. "I want to dream of something else for a change.
The need to dream of something new, after reckoning with the past is what this book leaves us with. Trauma will always be with us, but it doesn't have to consume us. We can move on, if we deal with the reality of it.
I think I just really love the ending of this novel, for reasons I can't really explain fully.

I feel like in the book you see so much more of Brian Lackey's point of view. I would say his point of view is the most present. And you can feel his confusion, pain, annoyance, and ultimately want for clarity of what happened to him on that night where he found himself in the crawl space with a bloody nose. I just want to give Brian Lackey the biggest hug ever...
I really appreciated seeing such distinct differences in these two as well. And seeing the POV of some of the important people in their lives.
