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.

And then that friend dies randomly on an October morning. And that’s how grief hits randomly out of no where.
