I’m crying

Love the Word Girl reference

Can I just adopt Adam
Please
So he doesn’t have to hurt any more

This book is gonna make me cry but I don’t care

I'm glad that I received answers about Adam and his situation.

I felt hesitant about reading this book because I knew it'd be heavy, but I loved it. Avalyn was a relatable, well developed protagonist, and I enjoyed her growth throughout the book. The way she reflected on her actions and did her best to become a better person was admirable. If only more people were like that in real life. 😟😔

I'm not sure what to make of Caleb's transformation at the end of the book. I saw it coming because of his actions earlier in the story. It's understandable that Avalyn, Nan, and Dillon would feel skeptical and/or suspicious of him since he'd bulled them in the past. And I get why forgiving him would be difficult or take a lot of time.
