Very interesting read, I love books with POV changes, and though some weird things were going on in that family I liked the book overall. Somewhat sad/had some major sad parts, but not too sad and the end was really good. An interesting way to write about loss and it was cool to read the dialogue with the grandpa. I still imagine him and the grandma in the airport.

I wish that the key had more of an ending in the story rather than Oscar ending up giving it to someone. This leaves an unfulfilling ending but it also shows the theme that in life you have to go on.
