This was a hilarious, dramatic, sad, happy, and beautiful story and so wonderfully written. The characters were so easy to love and the way that the story played out was great. I really liked the use of transcripts from Hana's podcast to add emotional punctuation at key parts of the story. I also liked that the author didn't either hide what the little mysteries were in Hana's situation nor was she too blatant about it. The tone and pace were perfect to keep me rapt and the way everything wrapped up was so perfectly moving and satisfying without being cheesy that it makes me almost sad to walk away from the book now that I've done reading it.
