A nuanced look at grief and how you can grieve for your own life and what could have happened bogged down by some wild tone shifting at key moments and awkwardly written bits. Overall very good, if flawed. I don't know if I'll ever get used to queer relationships being written with such love and tenderness. I didn't know I was allowed to be this happy.

There's one absolutely devastating scene towards the end that I will think about for ages.

Thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for allowing me to listen to this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. This book was amazing, heart-wrenching, and full of love!! This story is so heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. The audio is amazing and the narrator strikes the perfect tone for this lovely tale. All the characters are distinct and unique without distracting from the story. I will be purchasing a print copy to keep on my shelf. Such a profound and beautiful story.
