“If you only find one friend like that, you’re insanely fortunate”
And then that friend dies randomly on an October morning. And that’s how grief hits randomly out of no where.

I’m enjoying this book. People have been hating on it. It’s the kind of sad I want. Relatable but not depressing. Just… real. At least that’s how I feel so far.
My MAJOR gripe with this is that the narrator is reading Ali as ah-lee, like Muhammad Ali. Maybe that’s what it’s supposed to be but it sounds unnatural. But I guess that’s the Swedish way to say the name.
