I’m giving this book three stars, not because it wasn’t good-it was. Not because it didn’t get to big issues-it did. And not even because I didn’t like it-I did. I’m giving it the “it was okay” three stars. 

Wallace and his moms had an interesting dynamic, and I liked the ending—no spoilers! 

That said, it was a little too neat for me. The event at the end by the river... The relationship between Wallace and Rose... I guess I just thought some things were not super realistic. 

I don’t know. I don’t mean to complain about the book because it was good. Just not super good, in my opinion.
