This novel is a tender exploration of grief and family, and it approaches the topic with so much heart. I especially loved that it's in verse and how it uses that to show emotion.

The ending also felt fitting and well-foreshadowed.

I would absolutely reccomend to anyone looking for a heartfelt story.
