Honestly I wasn’t sure about it at the start, which seems ridiculous now having finished it. The first two chapters I had to push myself to read them, but after that I was fully invested. Even though I’m not a huge fan of first person POV, it was absolutely stunning.
I loved all the friendships and characters themselves, Sky might not have had a good (or decent) family biologically speaking but his friends have genuinely became his family and it was very beautifully done.
I'd also just like to say Marshall seriously is such a good friend (and Bree and the others—don't get me wrong) but Marshall being a wingman near the end had me laughing at how his "annoying" relationship questions at the beginning were given a different context near the end.
And I can't forget to mention the iconic line: "Gay for franch fries," by Christina, because same.
