I think that had I known what this book was really about I would’ve been more prepared going into it. I thought we were getting a friends to lovers romance, with a friend group twist, but it was a book about grief and perceptions of the people we think we know. I wish we had longer with the departed before we were meant to experience grief because I didn’t feel connected at all to the sadness of the whole thing, and it felt more like a plot device to set the story in motion than a deep dive into how we handle loss as people. However, I enjoyed the read and I’d definitely read from this author again.
