Did I ugly cry? Yes. Did I absolutely love and devour this book, also yes! This book, as told entirely from Enzo’s perspective (the dog) was such a heartwarming, funny, thoughtful, and emotional story! As Denny is a race car driver( and yes it can get a little heavy into racing jargon at times) the racing is really used metaphorically and so does not seem to technical. This book has everything going for it!, it has great, loveable characters, a great plot that keeps the story moving and interesting and a great message! I’d absolutely recommend reading this one if you haven’t!
