This book. It’s been a while since a book brought me to tears, but this book did - in the best possible way. This was a pretty challenging read for me as it took me a while to get into the story and even then it took me much longer than I normally take to finish reading, but it was worth it in the end. What a poignant and moving story.
Graphic: Chronic illness, Death of parent, and Grief
