5.0

The characters and Eddie’s experience really make you reflect on your own life, and I also love the authors writing style and how he formatted the book.

I also loved the ending and how everything tied up in the end with the little girl, it truly hit me square in the chest. It was a lot. Like I had to sit there for like a minute to just process what I just read.
