4.5

This book is a work or art. Marin, the protagonist, takes us on a heart-wrenching and vulnerable journey through the core of her loneliness after her grandfather’s depth. Her relationships with other people and her inner turmoil are phrased so that anyone could find a bit of Marin in themselves. I cried a lot during this book because of how much it resonated with me and how easily I could feel Marin’s deep and thoughtful emotions becoming my own. For anyone struggling with grief/loss/loneliness I highly recommend this book. I rated it 4.5 stars because I wish the character had included and epilogue showing how Marin had grown since the ending.
