A really gorgeous exploration of being a teen on the verge of being an adult, dealing with grief and depression and love and friendship and change and growth and nostalgia and healing.
Bonus points for setting it (or “setting it”) in my hometown. Anyone who grew up in the area will read the descriptions of not-Indian Creek Farm and not-Taughannock and feel all their childhood memories flooding back. There’s something really magical about Ithaca and Condie for sure captured it.
