God I’m heartbroken. The last half of the book was fucking phenomenal and I sobbed through the last three chapters. It’s so powerful and has some of the best (Maya, Kira, Benji) and worst (Peter and co) characters I’ve ever read. God the scene with Kira and the golf club… chills. Most of Kira’s scenes I had chills. And Benji and the hockey pucks. Oh my god. I’m gunna just scrub that from my mind that’s not how that ends for him….. literally my only issue was the pacing. It was SO SLOW at the beginning but it really picked up for the end
