This is heart breaking yet heart warming story that focuses a lot on trauma and grief. I really think marketing it as a thriller was not a good move because people who are expecting something intense or fast paced would likely think this is boring. This books is more emotionally intense than thrilling, in my opinion. I do think the ending felt kind of rushed.
