I was disappointed by this one. I think if I had a sister I might have liked it more because I get the sense that its relatability is what makes this story so good. This is an entirely character-driven book with almost no plot. It truly is a book about three different sister’s POV on how they are dealing or not with their sister’s unexpected death. Big themes of self-destructive behavior throughout.
One thing I really loved was the quotable one-liners that the author gave us. I wrote down many, many quotes to remember.
“It was easy to love someone in the beginnings and endings, it was all the time in between that was so hard.”
