this book WRECKED me. like WRECKED. when the twist happened, i literally had to set the book down to process what that meant. processing pain & trying to heal is what this book is all about, & as someone who has had their fair share of guilt & grief, this touched me in a way i didn't expect. im not sure exactly what is holding me back from giving a full 5 stars, maybe I'll find it later. but i loved everything about this book, including the tiniest of details like the smiley/sad faces that separated sections & how they always matched the content & how aaron was feeling at that point. a beautiful debut from an author that i NEED to read more from.
EDIT: upping this to 5 stars bc i literally can't stop thinking about this book MONTHS later.
