I think it's effective with its subject matter. Five family members, five different ways to deal with grief.
In other news, the body-swapping love scene was dumb. I think the novel would have been legitimately better without this.
Confession: I read this book about 10 years ago and literally couldn't remember what happened at all, so I decided to reread it. That's not to say the novel is forgettable, but rather my brain holds book plots poorly.
