Thank you very much for this wonderful read NetGalley.
This is a story about love, loss, family and friends. I loved that it was set in Manchester and I already knew of many of the places mentioned. Although I've never been keen on writing a dialect with an accent.
I love that each chapter starts with a note from Al to either Nate or Megan with links into what happens in the chapter.
I was sad to hear that this was based on what the author has to go through during her time at school and although I was never bullied to that extent it certainly brought some feelings back. It's also made me think of my friend's suicide in a different way and that's a good thing.
I would certainly recommend this book not just to YA readers but I think a lot of school aged children as it shows that all actions have consequences.
