This is one of the best books I’ve listened to. I think listening to it makes a world of difference because it truly feels like the story is being told directly to you. I’m not sure if I would’ve liked reading it as much as at times it felt repetitive. For me the thing that makes this story so good was the friendship throughout the book from the friends that Ted talks about to Ted and Louisa’s friendship and the character development throughout. Although it’s sad at times and complex I think the hard topics were discussed and touched on appropriately. Lots of emotions and feelings about also the humor was perfectly timed always. Love love love this book and would recommend the audiobook to all!
