This is such an amazing book. And such a page turning. I even cried and I was only seven chapters in. Love the characters a lot so lovable and I adore the main character, his best friend and his family. And Kieran who was so nice to Michael and I love it. So beautifully written with so many amazing quotes. It's short as it's written in verse and because I was listening to the audiobook I was able to finish it in a couple of hours. This is my first book that I have read that is a story and not just poetry that is written in verse and I enjoyed it a lot. I expect to be more noticeable when listening to the book, but it wasn't and it was like listening to a non verse written book, but with more poetic quotes and great poetry in it. Definitely recommend this book from the bottom of my heart.
