Starting this one I was super unsure. I don’t like sad books and the initial vibes along with the subject matter certainly seemed that it was going to lean to the sad. While it did, I wouldn’t call it make you cry sad - just regular “awe that stinks” levels of sad. It’s also jam packed with humor and that helps. I loved it and I’m surprised by that.
