The most challenging aspect of this book is how sad and emotional it is. The grief felt by the characters is so strong that is seems to seep out of the pages themselves. This book is heavy, dark, and emotional; and thus may not be the best choice for all readers or all occasions. However, the sadness is this book does not feel exploitative, over the top, or pointless; it is not sad for sadnesses sake and there is a lot the reader takes away with them aside from a good cry. As someone who can struggle to get though sad stories, this one was definitely worth it.
