it's so hard writing a review for this book, not because I don't know how to rate it but because I feel inadequate! I hardly think I can give this book enough praise to make people read it but here I go: 
 5 stars! 
 I received this book for free but that does NOT impair my judgement of it. 
 I adore this book. I found it to be one of the most underrated YA contemporaries released in 2015! I had never heard of it until it showed up in my mailbox. I think what made me love the book more was that I read it with my Australian friend, Tanaya! (Like the MC we have a long distance friendship!) 
 as soon as I started reading it I knew I was going to love it: Ollie's voice just grasp me and would not let go! he is funny, smart, and most of all quirky. he doesn't really have a filter but that's a result from him living in the woods. he's also a really darn good story teller(which is important!). 
 he suffered from some weird medical condition that makes him allergic to electricity! so he basically has lived life as a recluse in the woods. 
 the story starts off with him writing to a "fellow hermit" who lives in Germany. 
 now Moritz! he suffers from another sickness, but he is also blind, sort of. he doesn't have eyes, no, he doesn't have eye holes either. he just has skin where his eyes should have been. 
 and boy, Moritz was hilarious in his own way! he was such a contrast to Ollie, who was charming, sarcastic, effervescent! Mo was dark and gloomy and very very condescending lmao I loved his replies to Ollie and just made want to keep reading the book. 
 these two characters were just perfect together and I adore that I couldn't pick who I loved more! they each get to share their story and each made me cry. 
 this book has that perfect balance of comedy and angst like TFiOS, Everything Everything, & Wonder. but it reminded me most of I'll Give You The Sun because it's a book about the love we have for individuals who know us inside out and still are willing accept us. 
 since this book will probably go down as one of my all time favorites, I completely recommend it to everyone!
