review 1: This is a sweet book. The jacket description made me think it would be sadder and grittier than it turned out to be. It was sad - I think if I had slowed down my reading I might even have cried a little at points, considering some of the longing and sadness that the main character goes through. But I read it in one sitting (and consequently slept through my alarm the next morning!) so I didn't get as much time to mull it over. In general it was a pretty upbeat story and characters. One thing that bothered me was how easily it all wrapped up in the end. I felt like she got let off the hook pretty easily after she said some pretty hurtful things to the vet. That relationship repair job needed more - actually the relationship itself needed more in general to be believable. St... moreill, it wasn't as predictable or scripted as some queer teen books, so that was good.
review 2: I find this book amazingly relatable and I love it! I live a little north of Kalamazoo and was really excited to hear about Colby working at a Meijer, and the snow, and litter on Harrington road; it's the same way in my hometown. I'm only on page 74 but the little connections have made me prematurely fall in love with this book. It's definitely refreshingly different to have stuff in common with a book, and I'm just eating it up! If you live in MI; suffer from the many feet of snow, shop at Meijer's, and now the great kindness of some of the people that live here (the vet) I think you will live this book just as I have begun to. (People from other places will also love this book because it is so awesomely written with heart and awesomeness) less
