Finn Jones Was Here

I absolutely loved this book.

Eric's best friend Finn has sadly passed away, but when he starts to receive messages from Finn, Eric is convinced that this is Finn's biggest prank yet, and the clues will lead him to Finn.

This cleverly written novel had me glued from the very beginning, with some laugh out loud moments and a few shed tears as well. Eric, who likes to follow rules and plans, finds himself completely lost without his best friend. Following Finn's instructions leads Eric on a massive adventure, experiencing things that he never dreamed of doing. And in turn, allowing Eric to grieve, except the truth, discover himself and look forward to his own future.

Although sad at times, this book was an uplifting read about the power of friendship, enjoying and embracing life, as well as acknowledging different emotions and not being afraid of them.

I wholeheartedly adored this book and know it will remain with me for a long time. Highly recommend for readers aged 9-99.
