5.0

This was one of the truest 5-star-reads I've ever had. I loved almost all of it and the tiny bits I didn't love as much fade in the face of all the good things about this book.
This one touched me deeply with how genuine and emotional it was. At some point I almost got whiplash from how quickly it changed from heartbreakingly sad to heartwarmingly beautiful and back again. Which was both a little exhausting and why it pulled me in so much. I am so happy for Nico. He needed to go on this journey and I am glad Will went with him, since they clearly learned a lot about each other and will be better for it.
