I really enjoyed this book. I knew I would because it’s one of Katie’s favorites and she’s been trying to get me to read it for years, but I guess that actually intimidated me a little bit.
Overall, really fantastic read. My one critique, which is honestly a little nitpicky is that it harped on about Jesse just a little too much for me. I totally understand that it was written from the perspective of a grieving boy with depression, but I just started getting tired of it at some point.
