I highly recommend this book.  This book was both very funny and deeply emotional and wonderfully empathetic. I laughed, I cried, I appreciated life even more than I already do.  I experienced the love and loss of my daughter as I read this book.

At first I didn’t like the character and thought the story was tired and cliched.  However, as I continued listening to the audiobook the storyline improved and I enjoyed the character’s growth.

This book definitely got me in my feels at some points. Like his mom :( and Tim :( and Leo going on about life and death :’)
I loved the writing style, felt very… real. And chaotic. Which is soo real! I thought buds character was hilarious and annoying, loved him! I loved Clara too. My reasoning for losing a star was the end didn’t really feel like anything wrapped up. There wasn’t really a strong plot from beginning to end. I felt like I was dropped into someone’s life for a few days and then pulled back out. Was fun and I look forward to reading other books by this author
