4.5

I could have easily given this 5 stars but opted for 4.5 because some parts I found unmemorable overall. However this book made me cry multiple times I am well acquainted with death and it took me back at some points to the throws of grief and the end made me ball my eyes out because I don't know what I would give to hear those kind of words from the people I have lost in my life. I love books that make me cry because they make me feel something (something that is briefly touched upon in the book and was therefore also very relatable) but it was overall in a way very cathartic for me.
