This is the most real and relatable book I've read and, for that, it was a difficult read. And a difficult read that was worth it. I have plenty of my own worries and anxieties and to know that a brighter future, filled with unconditional love and understanding, is possible fills me with so much hope. This story was undoubtedly sad, but it gave me hope nonetheless and I will hold onto that even in the most difficult days. I hope that you, too, will find a story that is relatable and emotional and helps you in some way, as that is definitely what this book has been for me.
