I can’t tell you how many times I have read this, and it never ceases to bring me to tears. It is the most beautiful story of self-sacrifice and love, and nothing will ever top it for me.

This was very fun. As a fan, I thought the field guide parts were adorable, Keefe’s detention records and journal entries were hilarious, and the novella was interesting. I’m glad we got different POVs.
