“But grief was love in its second shape.” This was a quick read for me and I really enjoyed it! I spend a lot of time thinking about grief and love and the past and future and this book asks the question, “what if you could fast forward through your grieving process?” The story explores many different perspectives to this question through many characters who are surprisingly intertwined!! And one more quote: “… an unrecognized epidemic, the hordes of underserved humans suffering from loss, a pain both ubiquitous and isolating, a trauma that no one really wanted to discuss, but the one that inflicted so many wounds in the brain and body and soul.”
