I think I read this book at the wrong time in my life. I need a few more years of living to appreciate 

Like 
- The character dynamics between James and Tully is definitely beautiful 
- I enjoyed the second part of this read more 
- I think people raised in the 80s would appreciate this read as there was a lot of references to old movies and bands

Dislike
- Wasn't my cup of tea - I haven't lived enough years to catch up with the main characters experiences making it hard to connect 
- Think I would appreciate this read as I get older and may have to revisit
- It wasn't too emotional for me, but again I think I'm reading it at the wrong time
