When I saw that the author was Gayle Forman I was excited, but when I saw it was a book about books, my excitement dropped. I normally don't like books about books, however I was surprised when I read the first look. I'm actually kind of interested now.

The father just broke my heart and hearing about what they have gone through is just tragic. I feel like this book is going to be impactful and moving, which I love in a book. The setting of a close nit community sets a mood to the story that I just can't explain. For some reason it reminded me of Gilmore Girls.

I'm not completely loving the extended metaphor of the destruction of the dinosaurs, but it does add some uniqueness. Even though I'm liking the book more than I thought I would, I'm not sure how long it'll hold my interest. I don't typically read contemporary. Since I'm on the fence about this book, I'm leaning towards passing on it.
