I absolutely adored this book. It is written well, I didn't want to stop reading it, the characters are well developed, and who doesn't love a happy ending? It was a little predictable, especially after about mid-way through the story, but I did not mind at all. I enjoy reading thinking, "will what I thought be true?". It doesn't make the story less wonderful. This is 100% a comfort read, and I think the insights are profoundly deep.

A refreshing reflective read about coming to terms with loss and accepting the unknown. Tova is such an interesting main character, I loved reading about her quirks and habits. The characters felt very fleshed out and full. The plot was a bit predictable but enjoyable nonetheless.
