This book is spectacularly written and I feel like I received it with cling film wrapped taut around my heart... I recognized its beauty and power but couldn't fully receive it. I don't know if that film is made of my current mental state or how different the author's life is from mine or the fact that I haven't experienced the loss of a parent yet. Something just kept it from hitting home in a way I sensed it had the power to do. The descriptions of the early pandemic brought memories back, I admired the family's relationships and faith. I imagine this would be such a cathartic read for someone in the second or third wave of grief. So my enjoyment of it was probably a 3-tater but the actual book deserves more than that, ya know?
