At the beginning of the book, my initial impression of Josh was that he was a talented basketball player with a close relationship with his father. As the novel progressed, I saw Josh struggle with jealousy, anger, and grief after his father's health declined. Events such as his brother's injury and his father's death confirmed the depth of his emotions and the complexity of his character. Ultimately, my opinion of Josh changed as I witnessed his growth and maturity in dealing with these challenges.
