tjazz's review against another edition

hopeful reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

Trigger warnings.
Hard read for someone who has both lost a loved one to cancer and lost a partner.  Also a lot for anyone who has experienced infertility or pregnancy loss. 
It was a good story. Just a lot

Emotional topics & lots of interpersonal drama. Not a light and fluffy christmas book, but a fine story. TW for the homophobic f-word.
