 Every conversations Elly had with his Dad make my heart throb and ache. I think this book’s a journey, it’s a moment of change and changes hurt. It was written in this candid, very upfront way. At times it was funny, another time it made me question the writing. But moments of unpolished sentences get interrupted by a surprisingly genuine and relatable musings about life, relationship, and what it’s like being an adult. I think it was charming and sad and wonderful, and again I really love his relationship with his dad, I think those are some of the best part of this book.
