4.5

The weaving of storylines, perspectives, and timelines is something I'm not usually a fan of but this book is nearly flawless in that sense. Garmus' style was so smooth I could easily transition from the voices of Elizabeth to Calvin to Six-Thirty to any of the other incredible side characters with ease.

It's also a beautiful story about life and how it goes on. Through pain and heartbreak, loss and immeasurable growth, it continues. And it also paints a spectacular picture of what family means. Whether it's biologic or filled with neighbours, friends, dogs, and acorns, it is perfectly yours - imperfections and all.

4.75

A must read for every woman, and preferably all as well. Every page was better than the last and only marked it as 4.75 instead of 5 because the ending felt rushed. Overall, this book will go down as one of my favorites.

Moderate: Suicide

Minor: Vomit

the book contains a very graphic rape scene and belittling of the police after. The death of the love of her life is also very graphic, including descriptions of the scene as told by the dog.
