I'm going through the books I requested pre-2018 when I stopped blogging to clean up my NetGalley TBR and this was on the list. I don't think it's a book for me anymore and will not be reviewing at this time, but if I do read it, I will update this review. Thank you for the opportunity.

I am still processing this one. This was a bit of a ramble about a hard time in a teen's life. He narrates using a screenplay type of format alternating with traditional writing since he enjoys making movies. He portrays himself as a bit of a cold fish and so I had a hard time connecting with him.

I appreciated the honesty of someone frustrated with the process of watching someone die. Perhaps I am also a cold person, but I think that it is quite a struggle to go through the waiting and the slow painful loss.

This will likely get compared to FIOS, but they are certainly radically different aside from the presence of cancer in the book.
