Well written, and you can really feel what’s happening, but it’s also got some really sad parts and the language is almost jarring at times, so the thing I really felt the most throughout was grief.  Good book that inspired reflection and taught me a lot, but also had some really heartbreaking parts and the ending left something to be desired.
