Uplifting and sad

This was more uplifting than I expected and an easy story to slip into despite the dystopian slant of the contemporary setting. Both Matteo and Rufus were endearing characters in different ways with friends and family you could love on. The book takes place over a very short timeline and it takes some talent to make connections work in this context but the dystopia facilitated some of this.

I didn’t expect the culmination (outside of the obvious) to happen in the way that it did. It took me by surprise and half cheated my hopes and desires for the story. However, I felt a lot and sniffed to the end.

Great narration, I particularly liked the use of a third narrator to add in any random characters POV of which this book has rather a few. This third narrator contextualised this aspect.

Kudos
