i was so disappointed to not have loved this. i enjoyed the writing and concept but i don’t think it was executed in a way that i enjoyed. i fully thought this would be a 5 star read for me so i’m a little disappointed to have not fallen in love with this book. however, i did enjoy the focus on the memories of the main characters mom and how he was able to further mourn her years after her death.

This is a wonderful book and I can imagine it’s really nice to read when suffering with grief of one’s own

the best parts were Aloha, and Cabbage talking. the philosophical musings were stupid, like "cell phones bad", "clocks bad"; and the plot was inane, especially in regards to his ex-girlfriend whose name i forget. like, he tells her that's he's literally going to die any day now but she waits a few days before giving him

the letter his own late mother wrote to him on her deathbed

. best friend, shouldn't you have been like, "oh you're dying? that reminds me, i have something of immense emotional significance to give you"? but no, his dire prognosis apparently isn't enough, she needs just an extra… je ne sais quoi 🤌 to prove he's really earned it.
there were some reflections that i liked though, like how the meaning of one's life is the difference between this universe and a parallel universe in which one never existed. maybe you haven't changed the world but your friends and family's lives would all be very different; you may be insignificant to the universe at large but you're important to so many individuals.
