This book claims to be great "For fans of Laura Nowlin's If Only I Had Told Her" and while I agree with this statement, I felt a bit underwhelmed by this novel. I think the author does a good job with the story but it was lacking a bit of feeling for me especially around Julia's death. I didn't feel sad at all and I feel like I didn't know her character or personality very much. For me this one was just ok.

Thank you NetGalley and PENGUIN GROUP Penguin Young Readers Group | Viking Books for Young Readers for access to the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a touching story of friendship and coming to terms with grief. I enjoyed Colt and Julia’s story but wish it was longer because I felt it was lacking resolution.
Thank you to the publisher for the opportunity to read this advanced copy. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
