I’m a BIG fan of puns; this book tested even my limits.

I appreciated and hurt for Wishes. The cognitive dissonance of loving and feeling a specific way about a person and then their death be so different and not jive with how you knew them, would be so difficult. It must be so hard to lose an imperfect person and have to act like they were because your child saw them as a superhero. 

 

Over all this book was good. The pace wavered a bit, it probably could have been a whole lot shorter. I felt like the relationship progressed really well to begin with. As things moved on there were so many communication issues, and I felt like every other page had the guys taking a step forward or a step back. Despite this I had a really difficult time putting it down. 

 

A slur is used once which considering the context and maturity if the character who said it off page, I’m not too terribly hung up on it. What I have a bigger issue with is that the author had their characters reading a book (mentioned by author and title) it dates the book, and because of the choice of novel it left a gross taste in my mouth. It’s literally mentioned at 97% and sadly spoiled the last 15 pages of the book for me. 

JUST DON’T mention things that can date a book. Classic books for adult/kids nothing from the last 80 years.
