Wow. Just wow.
I lost my mom to cancer a few years ago, and Patrick Ness is spot-on to what it feels like to be in that situation.
Like Conor, I remember people treading lightly around me (in fact, they still do sometimes), getting things I didn't deserve, and not being expected to meet the expectations of everyone else. This book is so well written and holds so much truth.
I am truly in awe of how close to home this book hit me. It is incredible and I would highly recommend it. Especially for anyone with a sick parent or with a friend with a sick parent.
