3.0

Honestly could not tell you if I like this book or not. I usually find a lot of contemporary fiction to be incredibly pretentious and self important. But it was engaging enough for me to finish, so 3 stars. 

It was incredibly frustrating to watch all the characters make terrible life decisions that led to their ultimate demise. But the themes of grief and loss within strained family structures really struck home.

emotional inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

A slow read with not much at off at the end. I did like the depth on which they talked about trying to keep one’s self young and healthy to ward off an early death when in reality we hold little control over the time our life ends.
