It took a while for me to become invested in this book, but I think that’s a character trait for me at this point and not necessarily a fault of the book. But I really enjoyed reading this, especially the last 20%. 

I found Bree inspiring and relatable. Even though I haven’t lost someone that close to me yet, i could feel her emotions and at least somewhat grasp her grief. 

Each character was so different, and I enjoyed getting to know them.  I have a favorite character 💕 and I can’t wait to read the second book!
