I cried. A lot.
It's been a little while since I've actually read the book since I've made myself sit in it for some time. Whether I felt an attachment to the themes that are explored in the book, or if I was just particularly emotional on the days I was reading it, I certainly think this was one of the most heartfelt books I've ever read.
My original attraction to the book came from hearing what a fantastic LGBT+ story it was - something that always catches my attention when I'm grasping for some kind of representation. It lived up to all of my expectations. It started a bit slow, seeing as I'm usually one for adventure and fantasy, but once I got into the book and the manner that Saenz writes, I couldn't put it down. As the heading might suggest, it certainly cried, especially towards the end of the book.
If you want a book that explores love and relationships, familial, platonic, and romantic, I would highly suggest picking up this book. Hopefully, people will read this book at the right time in their lives to be able to have this book effect them as positively as it has me.
