Whewwww took a long pause reading this which I think was necessary for me. Finished the last 150ish pages in one go, and that was a LOT but very fulfilling. I cried.
Heartwarming, heart wrenching, artfully detailed, and just pure storytelling. Somehow allowed the reader to grow with Addie and feel her life exactly how she lived it. Addie just felt so real and so human, even if not necessarily relatable (as in, idk if I would have done everything how Addie did it but I was still along for the ride). Capturing a lot of the human essence in such small snippets of her life.
Paints a new picture of life and death, using your moments and creating your own path and experiences. Definitely a feeeeels book, super glad I picked it back up again. Beginning was tough, felt like there was no "direction" but it all really ties back in together.
