This was really well done

it was kind of perfect.
I mean the story had a few moments that were head scratchers for me but honestly i don#t think i will ever find a book that does not have that even if i ever would write my own one, or especially that, had a few of those moments as well. But overall? I loved this book and it came pretty close to perfect for me!
It is one of the best -if not THE best YA contemporary i ever read. I loved it.
It was fantastic.
The writing was great, not overly dramatic or felt too focused on unnecessarily details or opposite of that skipping over everything the might be important too fast. Instead it found the perfect middle of knowing when to go into detail and when to glaze over something for a bit and just move on with the overall story.
I personally found the best friend of the brother completely unnecessary -the head scratcher - to the story but other then I have next to nothing to complain about! Which is rare!
It was great and heartbreaking and "suck you in and spit you out at the end of it" kind of book that i just... i loved it.
I loved the characters and the storyline, i loved how it was told and the writing. I enjoyed that the problems of or for the characters where real life problems -a stupid sibling, a sick parent- and not something completely silly and over dramatized. The characters in this story really had something to fight through that was real and maybe not relatable to every single person but i think most of us can find something to relate to in this book, be it the family that always says something but never talks to each other, or the family that is a bit to close always and just needs a breather from each other. Or the completely estranged siblings that have no idea who the other one is anymore. Or those that constantly look out for each other. Or the sick parents. Or the distanced ones. or even just the girlfriend relationships in this book, which are by the way fantastic! and one of the first book that actually have positive female relationships featured! No stabbing in the back by the actual friends, no hate, no jealousy. Just honest and real friendship!
I just loved the relationships and how imperfect most of them where but they all still worked on it.
I loved the realistic-ness of this book. To me this story just felt substantial and more like a movie that i was watching since it all as so vivid and vibrant to me while reading this!
If you want a fantastic contemporary with real characters and a real feeling story? Try this.
Also the cover matches the story in the most perfect why that i ever seen! Just saying!
