Yes, everyone should read String! lol! I'm glad you found the story that started it all! The BBD triangle... You'll see how that goes! Grandma's death was a necessary development in the story. Losing one's grandparents is often our first significant encounter with death. I wanted to explore that here. I'm so glad you can relate to Billy. He's not perfect, by a long shot, but he wants to be a good person. We'll explore how he navigates his way through life in the stories ahead!
