Lauren Groff has never written a bad thing in her life!! This was an immersive book that brings you into its world. Characters were richly developed and felt real. I blasted through the first half because it was so engrossing seeing adult issues through a kid's eyes. I didn't expect this book to have such an accurate and loving depiction of end of life and caregiving.
