Parts of this were really gorgeous, a beautiful love letter to heartbreak, grief, craft and healing. I do feel that the cover and synopsis mis-sold it to me though…

Not great, but I do like her style of writing. The structure of the flashbacks and the unending nightmares got repetitive. Wouldn't recommend to someone who hasn't read her other book, but as someone who likes her writing I still liked reading this

This book was so heartbreakingly cathartic, it selfishly felt like it was written just for me, I cried through most of it and I can see myself dipping back into when I inevitably need these words again.
