5.0

I don't even know where to start with this. It is SO GOOD!

It is a book about loss and grief, about friendship siblinghood. About the failing and breaking of families (and maybe repairing some of it) and about finding a new one for oneself. It also is a lovestory but I wouldn't call it a romance. 
It is sad and hopeful at the same time. 

I love the way it's written, you can get totally lost in it's beauty and it's relevance and truth. It truly moved me on a deep level.
