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.

A beautifully written and unique tale of the intricacies of sisterhood. Told in verse, it’s poetic nature is profound and deeply moving. A rarity that I enjoyed from start to finish! and I can’t recommend it enough.
