This book is one of the best books I’ve read this year and I can’t put into words how much this book resonated with me even though I haven’t experienced this level of grief before. Maddie was so relatable and I loved how the book had moments that had me laughing to myself. You find yourself rooting for her from the beginning and throughout the book especially as she’s not appreciated by her mum or brother. There’s so much I could say but right now I’m just in awe and I hope Jessica knows how important the message in this book is!
