This was such a heavy read. Check the content warnings if you plan to go into this one.

I really appreciated this story. Knowing that it’s based on Neal Shusterman’s son and that people really truly go through these feelings made it a really hard hitting read. I’m glad I read it and it definitely helped to prove why Neal Shusterman is one of my favorite authors. The way the story unfolded and was told was done in such a way that made everything hit harder. I truly appreciated this work.
