Very heavy, death focused.
I loved each of the characters but thought the general message of the book was a bit off. More info on that in spoiler:
I thought they were setting up a found family story but then it didn't matter to the characters (as in they didn't form a closer familial type bond with each other) until they discovered that they were actually related by blood.
