This is a hard review to write just like it was a hard book to read. It’s not as simple as a “it was great!” 
This is a book about grief and all the messy complexities and layers of it. Sadness. Despair. Anger. Guilt.  This is an emotional book that won’t be for everyone but it is well written and powerful.

i absolutely loved this. the author portrayed grief in such a raw and realistic way. i cannot express how validating this is for anyone experiencing grief. also i loved the main characters family so much.
