Well worth having stuck through having to borrow it from the library four times, each time having to wait through the hold queue!

The story ends abruptly and without the normal feeling of resolution, so if that kind of thing makes you mad, consider yourself forewarned.

Wow! This book is heavy all the dang way through. I could make a list. Off the jump the story had me worried for Mom, Geraldine, and I hadn’t even meet her on page yet! Dad’s getting worried and I felt so immersed in the story. The interconnectivity through the story, I’m looking at you Linda. 😳 and that ending! I really enjoyed Joe’s friends joining together to help him through the story as well.
Additional:
What holds me back from a five star is that I felt this was a little long. It could have been condensed a little bit in my opinion. I found pretty much all of Sonja and Whities scenes unnecessary to the story as a whole. I also don’t like when there are teens in a story and adding sexualization. This is completely a me issue.
