this is confusing.
i cried sooooooo much reading this book. like from ten pages in to finish. i was sobbing.

and the last bit especially was tragic.

but i still don’t think it was a really great book. there was something kina ‘simple’ in it. like he’d dumbed it down. i kept getting this feeling that he’d just taken advantage of a plot line which was guaranteed to pull heartstrings, and then slacked off by filling it with with lazy generic predictable writing or tried too hard to make it easy to read.

i felt like he was writing to children.

maybe i’m out of line and that is the audience he intended. in which case, ..i dunno:). A&R had such a hype about it and i had higher expectations.

2 stars.
