Overall a very good book!
I felt like this book captured the process of grieving very beautifully. You never really get over someone’s death, you just get used to living in a world without them in it. The prank for alaska turned her death into something cheerful, something she would have wanted. <spoiler text>
This book was heart wrenching, but still left me feeling warm by the last page. Definitely worth reading for the characters
