I read this for a reading challenge prompt and was afraid it would be too sad but ultimately it was uplifting and affirming of friendship. I hadn‘t read this author before. The story was inspired by her own experience and was similar to Sophie Cousens in that it was a light read with some depth.

This book caught my eye at the checkout counter at a bookstore, so I borrowed the audiobook from the library and I don't regret it. I didn't realize the intended audience skewed a bit younger, but it was a wonderful tale with a beautiful voice that touched on a difficult subject in a way that didn't minimize the different forms of heartache that manifest around it.

Its almost funny, me wanting to forget the "everything that happened," when that was exactly where I was still stuck. Maybe the only way to get unstuck was to remember.

Sometimes a stretch of sorrow can make you serious, unsure of who you are on the other side of it all.

This is a story of a family dealing with some big things which come out slowly over the course of story. It‘s told in alternating chapters from the perspective of Ernest, one of the boys in the family who loves words, and Olivetti, the family‘s typewriter. The typewriter makes for an interesting point of view, and the story includes a wonderful group of characters.

It‘s that time of the year - March Madness and reading. I always get so much read while having the games on in the background. I‘d picked this up as my mom continues to explore the more holistic approach to cancer treatment. I thought a lot of what he said was interesting but I think the chapter on faith could be problematic for some. I appreciate his messages of forgiveness and that was his experience but he shouldn‘t have pushed God so much

TheDaysGoBy And I say that was someone who does believe in God. All in all though, I appreciate his journey and it did seem well researched 1mo

I read a lot of this author's book as a teenager. I don't remember reading this one. It is emotional and telling of what a person can go through. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.
