Brilliant book, bad timing... The story is desperate and hopeful, wonderfully human and painful, heartbreakingly beautiful. I dnf'd at 56% because I just couldn't take so much heartbreak, couldn't stand Bobby Palmer shattering my heart like that. Will be coming back to the book later to finish the story and have my heart put back together. 🥺

Overall, it was an ok read. It was very emotional read which needed me to meander gently through it so it wasbt too much. Very slow at many points (understandably due to probably trying to capture realistic journey of grief

Wonderful read about grief and the ways we come to terms with it. It was easy to fall into the story and feel for the character.s.

Loved this. Quite silly as a concept and I’m quite excited to read the reviews but overall absolutely loved it. A really sad and I think accurate depiction of grief but done in a new and kind of fun off the wall way.
