Sign in for personalised guidanceThis is a character-centred story about a bereaved young person trying to manage ordinary responsibilities while carrying several earlier losses and a turbulent inner life.
Eddy is mourning Marley while also living with earlier bereavements and a turbulent inner life.
Eddy is supported by caring adults while taking on jobs and inadvertently becoming involved in childcare.
The story moves between the present day and includes occasional commentary from Eddy’s ex, Boo.
Consider reading alongside a young person who may want to discuss how grief can coexist with humour, responsibility and change, without expecting a neat or immediate emotional resolution.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: another book-specific source is still needed.
