There's such a gentle quietness to this novel; it draws you in. Little happens - and yet so much happens - and the simple and beautiful way the story of Marin and her grief is told is both heartbreaking and uplifting.

This is the kind of book I would have devoured in high school. I felt very seen and held especially in the final chapters. Left me with a weird feeling and was at times pretty slow paced, but other than that, a pretty gentle YA read.
