Where to start with this book? Emotionally, I'm all over the place in the best way possible. I love almost everything about this book and simply couldn't put it down.
I adore the title and the cover but I even more adore the characters and the relationship Jules has with his friends, his sister and Mat. I love the love and the diversity in this book, the message and Jules' decision to do things for himself, to believe in what he has dreamed about and has worked hard for for years.
I didn't rate it 5 stars because I felt the relationship was a bit rushed at times and the writing style took me some getting used to but that has more to do with me rarely reading books in first-person anymore.
This book deals with some heavy topics so I definitely suggest checking out the trigger warnings before reading.
