*claws face* This book made me cry like ten times. I listened to the whole audiobook in less than 24 hours--normally I don't love audiobooks unless I'm on a long car trip, since I prefer podcasts or music, but I was so into this that I listened to it at every available moment.

The audiobook narrator is fine? I felt like she was doing some kind of pseudo-accent? It didn't really bother me but I wouldn't say the audiobook necessarily enhanced this story (the way, for example, the [b:The True Meaning of Smekday|1194366|The True Meaning of Smekday|Adam Rex|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1438739381s/1194366.jpg|1182420] aduio does). It's just a great book.

I don't want to talk about it, I just want to cry about it. (It's not necessarily a sad book, although there are definitely sad moments? It's just very very feelings-inducing. Oh god my feelings.) I love these characters, I love the way this story developed, oh no I'm tearing up again just thinking about it.
