Definitely a 5! She does it again! Not my favorite of hers but I was pacing the room, swearing at the characters and crying my eyes out so yes, 5 stars!
"I think I spent so long waiting for it all to begin, for life to really start, that I missed out on what it was really all about. It's not law school, or the big fancy job at the big fancy firm, or solving your own murder because it's your last chance to prove something. It's about all of those small moments I missed while I was waiting. I haven't been able to see it until now... Writing songs just because it makes you happy. I haven't laughed so much my whole life as I have the past few days with you... Because, Billy, this past week, I haven't really been dying. I think, maybe, it's the opposite. I've finally been living. And that's all becasue of you. You showed me. It's the best thing anyone's ever done for me, and I'll never forget it. And I wanted you to know, that it was all you, before it's too late" pg. 318
"Home is wherever you are, Billy. I haven't lived so much in twenty-seven years as I have this past week with you. I wish it could last forever, never end... But I want you to promise me something. Don't be scared to love someone else. Don't be scared to be loved back." pg. 360

When it finally got into the swing of the story it was enjoyable. It was obvious that there was something big that was going to happen so spent the first half of the book just waiting 😆
When the drama started it was good… but almost to the the point where everything was happening at once with red herrings and plot twists all over the place which then started to loose it’s impact.
Overall it was ok
Loved this read! A compelling read that finds life’s absurdities even in the darkest moments—brilliantly alive from start to finish.
