I was originally planning on giving this book ~4 stars, about halfway through reading it. I liked the writing a lot, but felt that the story was a bit darker and slower than what I had signed up for. There were a few twists that were exciting but beyond that, I was left wondering why this was recommended to me, knowing my usual genre. I was a bit slower getting through the first half, again not because of a lack of good writing or interesting plot, but just because it was heavier than I was used to. It was definitely important to set up the rest of the book, but again just a little different from what I was expecting (which is why I gave it 4.75 instead of 5 stars- I’m not sure how much I’d enjoy reading through the first half again and going through that pain, knowing how absolutely amazing the second half is) .

The author did a tremendous job with character development.
10000% recommend this book, even if you are a fan of lighthearted books like me, it will be worth it!!! Such a beautiful and realistic story about life, death, friendships, love, parents, etc.
