4.5

This book is so heartbreakingly messy in the most real way. Grief is so complicated and painful and everyone deals with it differently and that is so honestly told with each of the characters in this story. Liam was the perfect narrator and having to see how much they were struggling with was devastating 😭 there were points in the story where I just didn’t like each characters but I think that was so important because there are always points in peoples lives where they are at their worst and if you’re not allowed to be  unlikable while your grieving, I’m not sure when you can. Honestly, this is probably not a book I should’ve read right now when I’m personally not mentally at my best but making myself more sad when I’m down is something I’m way too good at 😅 but anyway, this book was beautiful but please check trigger warnings before picking it up!
