The one-in-a-million boy

One of those rare books that I wanted to start reading again as soon as I turned the last page.

Such wonderfully drawn characters and surprising turns of phrase give the book a warm, unique voice that had me gasping out loud. Used up a whole stack of post-it flags marking the bits I want to remember. The author used an interesting frame for telling the story, using taped interviews and lists as a way to tell backstory in alternating chapters, yet keeping you moving through the story's plot and connected to the characters.

A book that makes you feel good after reading it and start noticing the people around you who are lonely or struggling or just human, and recognizing they have more to them than you know.
