I went to start this book expecting a simple coming of age romance. I was really wanting a book about trauma, sibling loss, and recovery. To my surprise I got just that. It was unexpected and gorgeous. The relationships between children and parents made me cry and the way it addressed memories and dreams warmed my heart. I am a library book person, but this will have to join my shelf.
