A serious gut punch of a book. Beautiful, and will knock the wind out of you. Some very sweet characters caring for each other in the best ways they can, everyone trying their best in their own clumsy ways. I took away one star for

the idea that after the first big breakthrough you might just be done with therapy and not need it anymore.
