The Key to My Heart by Lia Louis

4.0

This book captured Natalie's grieving process extremely well. Her feelings of guilt because she wasn't behaving the way people around her wanted her to behave, and her conflicted feelings about the house that she and Russ had bought together. The piano music was an especially emotional touch, and more so when Natalie found out who was leaving the music for her. I found her reactions very realistic. It just showed how we don't always make the best choices when consumed with grief. And how difficult and confusing it can be for the people who desperately want to support their grieving friend. I loved how everything unfolded for Natalie in the end.
