This book is brilliantly written. At many points, I gasped at the descriptions and laughed out loud a lot, too. This being said, it depicts a very deep and consuming grief. While I have never experienced anything like this, it seems that she has articulated it quite accurately and vividly. I felt overwhelmed reading it and wanted it to stop hurting her so much. But I guess that is the point. It is heavy and real. I did love the relationships in this book. Eve’s family was especially remarkable and also very real. I believed that they were real.
Anyone going through grief needs to be aware of what they are picking up before they begin this book. It is disturbing at many points.
