  • This is quite possibly the most emotional book I have ever read. The combination of a heart wrenching found family story mixed with TJ Klunes immersive writing made this book very heavy. It was ultimately a great book but I often found myself having to put it down because I would get overwhelmed by the story. I’m not sure I’ve ever had a book that did that to me. Make sure if you decide to read this, that you’re in a good head space and can handle the abundance of emotion packed into this novel.

    Books aside, good for you for not being afraid to go public with trying makeup after only two tries!! In my 48 years, I’ve never had that much courage. Proud of you buddy!

    I did not notice the makeup until you mentioned it so well done. I stay away from books/films similar to this because I don't like crying; my sinuses get all messed up and I get a headache, etc.. I swear once I turned 40 my emotion chip got locked into the On position with certain things that hit close to home. I watched Saving Mr. Banks and ended up weeping uncontrollably in the theater because Tom Hanks, and I had to go get ice cream after.

    I actively avoid books which are apt to make me sad. I realize I sometimes miss out on things, but like you, I deal with depression/anxiety & this type of book tends to trigger those moods/feelings. One example, I recall in my early 20's, Stephen King's Pet Sematary threw me into a depression. RE: the make-up, I think you look great! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

    Pack. Pack. Pack. 🐺 Zach I’m so sorry it was difficult for you to read. This is one of my favorite series. TJ Klune is talented in that he makes us feel these emotions ! I’m either laughing or crying when I read him. I think you would like The Extraordinaries. You will laugh a lot. It’s about teen superheroes. Very good !

    I’m sorry that you went into this book blind… I would highly recommend trying The house in the cerulean sea, as that book from TJ Klune is really heartwarming and will lift you up, which anyone needs after finishing Wolfsong 😅

    At first glance, I thought it was something different with the lighting. Looks good.
    It sounds like a heavy book.
