I find it hard to determine my thoughts about this book. My star rating is very insecure, so to say. The book didn't necessarily make me feel a lot of things, but rather, made me think and reflect. There was especially a plethora of both beautiful and thought provoking quotes. I think I need to let this novel sit for a while before I can fully determine my opinion on it.

Lyrical, haunting. A reflection on grief and life and love. 

“After 18 would come 19, and after 19, 18 of course. But she turned 20. And in the autumn, I would do the same. Only the dead stay 17 forever.”
