This was an emotional read. A large part of the book is written as if the protagonist is talking to his dead wife. The portrayal of grief and loss is raw and real. Unfortunately it seems many folks go into this book thinking it's about a haunted device similar to an Alexa, but it's not. There's also a large split between people who like the ending and people who think it fell flat. I don't mind an ambiguous ending and am still thinking on it. Beautiful book overall.
