This was a really lovely read. It's nicely written and has a focus on some really important current issues. I like the change in perspectives, it is done subtly at first and then throughout the book I found myself wanting to read the others views on the same events.
The ending was heart-wrenching but really well done - overall this was a tender exploration of love, grief and friendship and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
