This book handles grief in one of its truest and messiest forms and does it well. The entire ensemble cast of characters brought an important element to the story in the way we see how Corrine’s grief impacts each of their relationships with her as well as their ability to decentralize Corrine as the the only one who is grieving Maggie. This story tore my heart in two as books often do when elements hit closer to home than I expected them to and I found myself writing a lot more personal annotations than I normally do when reading this. The human connection the author provides between the character and the reader is one of the best things about this book and has sealed it in my mind as something the definitely is going to be reread in my future.
