Such a beautifully written book with thoughts on what it means it be human while dealing with the struggles that come with life. The story itself wasn’t super captivating, but the writing pulls you in

It has complex characters with lovely prose, but plot was lacking for me. It had a plot, but didn’t engage me.

**Trigger Warning** Mention of physical abuse, drug/alchohol abuse, suicide, child/pregnancy loss in this book.

While I did like the author's way of creating this community of people on the mountain I felt that it was far too many characters to keep up with. I did find that at the end I was still a little confused on who is who.

But, there was truly a community between all of them that was full of love, loss, and learning to live through it all.. together.

I received this book free via Goodreads Giveaways.

This book was beautifully written. It's a story that follows a community and explains a wonderful story about how they are all connected and how in the end they remember the reason why their community is important to each of them.

This gave what felt like excellent inside into mental illness, loneliness, need for companionship and speaking out loud our truths. But it’s a hard read because these are hard subjects. It all felt like too much, even the Meta moments of “this would only happen in a book.”

Wow. I read this in one sitting. Such well written dialogue between people and inner monologue of each of them in a community going through a tragedy. Melancholy and moody. The story propelled me forward.

I really loved the way this book was structured--multiple POVs in the voices of the people living on a remote mountain in the Rockies.
