Well written, but did leave me with an overwhelming sad feeling despite the fact I feel like it was meant to end on a positive note. 

Probably mostly due to the animal death, not a fan of those in books

Similar to “A little life” in some ways - also I felt like some of the more compelling characters weren’t really explored
