This book was. I had no idea what to expect going into this ans it was so good. So heartbreaking. Cried a little bit at the end but this book made me feel things a book hasn’t made me feel for a long time. I was scared and sad and overall just this yearning for Mungo to be okay. I just want to hug him. Wow what a good book.
