This is what happens when you read a book at the beginning of a long vacation (first flight, DONE!), and then don't review it until two months later. I am suffering a bit from CRS disease (can't remember, um, stuff), so this one will be short, but important enough to include!
I gave this book four stars on Goodreads. That means it was pretty good, and it was definitely original. I definitely connected with Sam, and really admired his mother, who stood up for him when he was bullied at school because of his red eyes. Loved the long-lasting relationship between Sam and his bff and fellow outcast, Ernie. And Mickey - well, Mickey is the wild card. And stays that way!!!!
Very interesting how his physical condition defines and shapes his life and his decisions, and his relationships. Great story about perseverance and deep friendship, and maybe a bit of redemption. I personally liked the ending, even if it was a bit wrapped up, but what Sam realizes and how he handles who he meets at the end was sort of cathartic. For the character and the reader. Well done.
