I’m honestly wondering how I’m going to enjoy another book because this one was so incredibly excellent that I may never be satisfied again. Absolute perfection. This is the exact opposite of a book I’d normally read and I really struggled with the premise of it, but I ended up rooting for the characters so much and really reflecting on grief and loss and life and joy.
