I wanted to LOVE this book, and I did for the first 50 or so pages and then nothing happened…and then the same things happened…and then it became religious, preachy and full of eye-roll moments. This really could have been a gem, but it wasn’t. It took effort to read past 100 pages and it wasn’t pure stamina and willpower that allowed me to read to the end. I guess a nice person as the hero is just boring?

“You are strong. And you are brave. And you are kind. Even when you are sad.”

“Sadness might be many things, but it is rarely stupid. The good sadness, I think, is always trying to tell us something very important.”
