This book was so depressing. I know the audience is a younger one, but I felt this story was very surface level and sad.

this book was soo beautiful yet it was heartache & pain !!!
i love Jack & jack’s parents & joseph (you have my heart)😭
~it brought me tears & i loved joseph & jack for what they’re & their bonding & for who they were & i love them cuz they’ve got each other’s back no matter the whole world against them !!!
Joseph was assigned to jack’s parent’s house as a foster kid who barely speaks nothing to jack & his parents ever since he started living with them. joseph’s past is just soo heartbreaking that you can’t help but want to give him a hug !!!
i hated certain characters soo much that i want to punch them on their fucking faces, it made me soo angry that i wanted to scream.
it’s an easy & simple book to read in one sitting & can’t help but feel sad.
it’ll make you believe in how beautiful humans are & also how cruel can humans get !!!

This book broke my soul. I haven’t felt this much pain from a book in awhile. This was my VRC book #3.
