A more mysterious read. I felt like it dragged a bit in the middle. There were a few characters introduced in the latter half of the book that kind of confused me.

"He doesn't want to know what he is starting to know about himself. Because he doesn't want to do the uncomfortable work that comes when you accept something needs to change. The uncomfortable work that comes with knowing that change means showing up for yourself in a new way."

a good read that as each short chapter went on you uncovered another layer to the story. and at some point pointed your suspicion to on character only for to change in four pages. this book deals with grief in a realistic way in my opinion. also the description of locations were beautiful.
