This book is the perfect reminded that human kindness still exists in our crazy world. Tallie and Emmett reminded me, that life happens to us all. The good, the bad, the little things and the world crushing things that make us ask ourselves is it all worth it. This is 100% a book I needed, when I read it. And the cover art?? 10/10.
I will say, however, this book moves extremely slow. I partially liked it. It started out lazy and just informal. The drag at first was kind of comforting. It was a really long "getting to know you" phase. But, for me as a reader, it went on a little too long. The real climax of the book isn't until 60 pages from the ending.
Worth the read, but not one I will keep.
