a character study of grief and loss and how you can’t really know a person but that doesn’t mean they didn’t impact your life or that you didn’t love them.

loved hannah, nath, and jack so much. unconditionally my baby loves.

This is a heavy book. The writing is exquisite, I love all the characters and their development throughout the book. If you come from a dysfunctional family, though, this one might hit you where it hurts. Especially for me the relationship between Nath and Lydia. 

Thriller/Mystery, Dysfunctional Family, Trauma

I did not know what to expect from this book, but overall it was a good read. It’s darker in nature than I normally go for. It’s more mystery based, but it keeps your attention.
