- This book dealt with SO many things well: Death, sickness, grief, loss. This book made me FEEL a lot of really strong emotions surrounding death and grief specifically.
- The concept of this was so unique and so heartwrenching. I love how the story was told through literal storytelling, and I loved how big of a role art played.
- The characters were so real and their stories so genuine.
- I really felt like I was in Lenni's head. I loved her friendships with Fr. Arthur and New Nurse.
- I cried, really, really hard at the end.
I love how Margot continued to finish her stories even after Lenni died .
What I Disliked/Wanted More Of:
- Derek was unnecessary honestly.
- I have pretty bad death anxiety and this book really messed with that.
