Storygraph recommended this novel to be and I am glad of this as I enjoyed it as much as any novel I've read or listened to recently. The first person narrator is endearing, honest, insightful - and funny! The supporting friends of his are well drawn and loveable too. I enjoyed the setting in Athens, GA - as the author captured the light and the dark of a football weekend in a southern college town. The mystery/suspense was the right amount to keep me turning the pages as I blew through this relatively short novel quickly. Recommended highly also as it helped me better understand what life with a degenerative physical disease/disability might be like. Again - so glad I found and read this story!??
It was a fast paced book that hooks you from the start. However, it ended up being just “okay” for me. It was cute and educated me on SMA but otherwise parts of it seemed juvenile/silly/unbelievable. Overall, I enjoyed my time reading it but would not pick it up again
A good story from a unique perspective. I finished this book quickly and it got me out of my reading slump.
The narrator was very chatty, I don't mind that but there was a chapter that was Q/A style that I thought was a little cheesy and too much tell. But other than that one chapter, I really enjoyed the book.
