It was tough to get through. But that was the point. It felt like the same thing, never-ending. The whole book was just grief, and nothing else, just making you want something more than that. It was the perfect display of what grief can be for some people.

Just the same thing every day: lay in bed. cry. sleep. over and over again.

The addition of Q’s mother’s display of pure cruelty was the perfect display of how everyone’s grief is different. And I use “perfect” begrudgingly because my heart hurt more and more every time Aspen was mentioned. Heartbreaking.
