5.0

This was one of the most quietly moving and emotional books I’ve read. It did such a great job at setting my expectations and then subverting them in the best ways! All of the separate plot threads connected in such a satisfying way, and the overall message felt like the perfect balance of funny and moving. I really love the attention to realistic detail on all of the characters, who felt very real because of how flawed they are. This book made me cry and I can’t wait to read it again!
