5.0

 This book was phenomenal. It perfectly encapsulated the bittersweet grief of growing up and moving on with your life while also tackling the emotional issues of trust, love, and personal control. Through his writing, Zack Smedley ripped out my heart over and over again as I watched Owen repeatedly find himself being hurt by the people around him. The inclusion of Owen's ASD and his struggle with change helped add to the impact of Owen's desire to maintain his status quo despite his acknowledgement of the pain it's caused him. Overall, this book stole my heart and soul which I highly recommend you allow it to as well.
