I wasn’t too sure about this in the beginning. The writing style grew on me and I grew to love it by the end of the book. The emotions portrayed left me with a pit in my stomach. It’s a short read but I a very impactful one.

a beautiful, heart-wrenching, and powerful story about family, love, loyalty, camaraderie, and friendship. though set in the heart of winter in maine, this book will warm your heart and rip it to pieces simultaneously. joseph brook and his story will definitely stick with you long after finishing this short, but impactful and beautiful read. would highly recommend!

It took a while for the plot to get going. The book was enjoyable. It wasn't written for my age group, so I found it a little predictable (except for the end).

That end- I'm crying so much. That was so unexpected😭
