so, so beautiful. so poignant. it was everything I needed it to be and more. grief is entirely complicated, and instead of trying to untangle it, lacour let it be. she let it exist within marin - eat at her from the inside, kick her in the shins, erase the good, highlight the good, erase the good again. she let it do all of the things that grief does, no holding back, but had it coexist right next to the love we forget we have while going through such an inevitably difficult emotion. the love we don’t pick up until it’s finally right there, being rubbed in our faces, almost to a point where it simultaneously feels like too much and not enough. I feel for marin, I am marin, and I love this book beyond words
