This was such a feel-good story. I liked all the main characters, and I loved the found family/friendship they developed. Told in multiple pov's. There are five characters pov's and each has their own section that helps you get to know them more. The themes were: grief, loss, aging, loneliness, but also of kindness and friendship and acceptance.
