 Well written and deep tho very sad. The book takes a very real, very methodical look at grief and choices, for better or worse, made out of that grief as well as hope and the aftermath of loss. 

The pacing of the book is fairly slow, which is understandable since the content is so deep and methodical. I thought the concept of grief and loss was very well done. It took the complexity of living with it and really told an excellent story. 

I felt for Tom and was invested in him as a character, as well as his decision making. While part of it felt like watching a car accident in slow motion, that’s what really caught you at the same time - you wanted so badly for a happy ending because he was just such a good guy. 

Overall would recommend and enjoyed it, it’s just not a fast read. 

Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy of this book. All opinions are mine.
