The Five Stages of Andrew Brawley

“Adults are just as fucked as the rest of us. No one really grows up. No one unravels all of life's manu mysteries. They just grow older and become better liars.”
This book. OMG this book.
The first thing I thought as I finished it, was back to Bruce Coville's blurb in the first page: “The Five Stages of Andrew Brawley broke my heart, then put it back togheter again”.
Andrew's character is lovely, I wish I could store him in a bottle and protect it from the world forever. His friends are also amazing people, and to see Andrew having to deal with his inner conflicts is heartbreaking.
It's important to note that the book can get very dark sometines, which I think was great for the story, but I'd recommend checking for the trigger warnings before reading it.
