5.0

I’m living with fresh grief, so this really hit hard for me. The quality of writing is a little stiff at times, and I wish we got to know the characters a bit more, but because of how much I was invested in the story and everyone’s relationships, I can overlook those things. Whimsical, funny, and poignant. I was sobbing through reading towards the end.
