An exploration of grief and trauma, and both the individual drivers and the systemic drivers of. As quietly optimistic as it is sad, its not a hard book to read, despite it covering some of the darkest material I've ever read. The characters are charming and the language is easy, and again and again you are met with these notes of hope and love that help you push on through the grimness. The ending is a really interesting choice - I'm on the fence how I feel about it, but I think it was ultimately done well, and it's interesting how various things throughout the story set it up perfectly, so you understand it from multiple perspectives.
Moderate: Child abuse, Sexual assault, and Cancer
