This is one of the saddest contemporaries I’ve ever read, but also one of the best portrayals of grief I’ve ever seen. I loved all of the characters (except maybe Rohan), and I would really like to give Autumn, Logan, Shay and Dante enormous hugs.
I loved the way music helped all of them through their grief, and how, in the end, they helped each other. I loved the friendships in this book, and Autumn and Dante’s budding romance was so adorable. I loved the way this book didn’t have a perfect ending, but still a hopeful one, and that throughout it all was a reminder to appreciate the beauty that remains after loss. (Also, in that context, isn’t that just a beautiful, poetic title?? Props to Woodfolk for that. 👏🏻)
This is an undeniably heavy read, but if it’s one you can handle, I highly recommend it. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it.
