I wasn't particularly attached to any of the characters, and yet, TJR is so stunningly good at making you feel like you could be a part of somebody's world. She's one of few authors I have read that write character and subject matter so well that you legitimately wonder if they have a real life experience or relation to it. Grief is a really relatable feeling for everybody, but it definitely got a little repetitive and boring for the main character. I did like the journey that Elsie went on in her grieving and it was really realistic.
