Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest rating and review.
5/5
CW: Death by suicide (off page), OCD behaviors (on page), panic attacks (on page)
In the interest of full disclosure, I must admit that this is one of my very favorite YA authors, but WOWOWOW, she has done it again!!!! This is very different from her previous two novels, but it is incredible. The book handles the aftermath of the loss of a friend/boyfriend/brother after he dies by suicide. The way the grief is explored through so many different lenses is truly beautiful to get so many different perspectives.
This book really hurt me (in the best way possible) because I absolutely felt for each of the characters - especially Bea and Santiago, as those are the two characters whose points of views we jump between. The growth and development of these two is a beautiful thing to watch.
This was a heavy and difficult book to read, but I’m so glad I did. There were so many beautiful messages about grief and moving on while still carrying the memories of the past.
