I went into this book not knowing anything about it. I saved it to read when it initially was popular and on a whim decided to read it last week.
I love how grief is discussed perfectly from all perspectives, it was portrayed so well, I believe the first person perspective was well executed. This story was amazing in more ways than one. It’s a soft book for anyone who struggles with suicide, I feel like someone who reads this in a hard time like that may feel comforted.
The romance is age gap enemies to lovers and so raw, showing how complex the world can be in times of despair.
