I loved this book from cover to cover. A dark way to explore grief, healing, making amends, etc. Ava is easy to root for. There’s something to be said here about the exploration of toxic masculinity and its intersection with personal responsibility and the idea of a “good guy”. The sardonic bites at corporate life were lovely sprinkles on top.
