I was given this book because my mother died very suddenly at the beginning on the year. And my friend who gave it to me also had a parent die relatively recently. It’s a good book to ready if you’re a person between the age of 15- and like? 30?

It’s not a 5 because it wasn’t totally relatable since my mom’s passing was so sudden and not like what happened to Tyler Feder. But it was very helpful. 

Read this book with a box of tissues close by if this is something you’re reading while grieving

A beautiful tribute to her mother and a very personal story about grief and losing a parent.  I have experienced loss, but nothing quite like losing a mother so suddenly.  I try to think of death as more mundane than scary, and this book is a great way to start thinking about death and grief in terms of what I'll call a realistic optimism.

The art was cute and expressive and detailed and I loved the fact that the more vibrant and pastel color palettes are juxtaposed with the heavy themes of death, disease, grief.

Beautiful book, it made me feel so SEEN and understood. I cried a bunch, but that’s because Tyler Feder writes so insightfully that I feel like she’s writing my thoughts. It’s hard to lose your mom at a young age, you feel so alone in the experience. But this book made me feel less alone and reflect on how losing my mom has changed me, but mostly for good. I hugged this book when I finished.
