I didn’t hate this book but I didn’t love this book. I had a really hard time getting into it. I appreciate that this was a family’s journey of healing from great loss and how the main character, Pup, found his own healing through photography. However, the last bit was more glazed over as it focused on his brother’s addiction. I would have to loved to see Pup explore his grief through the camera lens more than we did, and I think that would’ve added more. Also his relationship with his best friend seemed to just completely be forgotten about by the time we were halfway through the book, and I’d like to have seen more of that.
