This book has been on my TBR list for a while, two years at least. It was one of my favorite books when I was younger, and still holds up mostly to this day. The only issues I had with it was the direct characterization like, “Because Brodie was a good dog.” And how the narrator said “Trust me, I know.” Every five seconds. However, I do understand that I’m not in the target demographic. Other than that, though, this was a sweet book. It has definitely stuck with me all these years.
