4.5

The romance in this book is tender and understanding, but it was the relationships with the main character's family that made this book special. The interactions and conversations are complex and meaningful.
</As someone who also went through hospice care for a parent in my mid twenties, I feel like this book had a good understanding of the complex feelings that go along with care taking. The descriptions of grief and guilt felt real and healing for me in some ways.>
