Books about grief always seem to help me articulate into words my feeling and this book was no different. A lot of the things were relatable and even though I don’t wish this experience on anyone it’s helps knowing my thoughts & feelings are just something I encounter.

This is a beautiful book that captures the struggles of coping with grief and loss. Thank you Mason Deaver for sharing this story with us all. I felt so seen as I’ve been navigating loss within my own family. 

Overall, I loved it, and felt every emotion alongside the characters. 

PS:  Check trigger warnings before reading, I did and felt more prepared, which helped me empathize better with MC
