Dustin Thao is a word magician.
Exploring grief from the perspective of a graduating teenager whose boyfriend died is so unique and yet it feels like anyone can relate. 
It is about the fear of letting go and staying. It is about loss of love and what good can come out of it. The cycle of love and relationships, letting people go and inviting new in. 
Truly a masterpiece. Can’t wait to read the new book.
