His book feels so shockingly American for a British author. I can’t believe how much he nailed the setting

I just finished this book and it was truly amazing. I was scared of the number of pages but it was great all the way through. Best book ever!!

[@TammieBrandon]

I finished it and immediately started reading it again. I loved it that much!

The writing in this novel is beautiful. Whitaker is so naturally talented.

I absolutely love this book. I didn't know that it will be made into a show. I wonder who will play Sammy, he cracked me up! Lol.

This book was almost 600 pages and I could not put it down. By far, the best book I have read in a very long time. I read it in 2 days which is kind of a big feat for me. I fell in love with the characters and I can't imagine this as a movie or a series as the book is so fresh in my mind and the actors would have to be oscar worthy to pull this off.

I'm currently reading and I keep saying this needs to be a movie. I'm glad it's coming to film, but idk about a series. I'll still check it out tho bc this book is so AMAZING!!!
