I read a review that is 100% what i felt like with this book:
"In some ways you spend the entire length of the book, hoping but not sure what you’re hoping for. Whatever it is, you only finish with half of what you hoped for"

Not much else to add. Beautiful story about grief.

Good! I think overall it’s a well written story with an important message that evokes emotion and feeling within the reader. I did find it a little repetitive in terms of the story and the events, but that is to be expected when telling the story of one’s grief and the cycle of emotions you go through, I just think it’s something to bite for those wanting to pick up this book. I found Marin’s growth to be very touching and real to what grief and what all its lows feel like, as well as when she finally feels that unforgettable high that provides her the closure she needs to remember but move on. Overall a nice, reflective read.

This was strikingly beautiful. I didn’t expect to be taken by it like I did. The book masterfully took me along the journey of Marin’s emotions and I could feel so much with her.
The characters and their relationships were incredibly thought through and every detail seemed to work together. I’m so impressed by the execution of this.
