As someone who has experienced loss, this story perfectly balances the line between ripping your heart out then knitting you back together.
At times I found Lenny’s rage overwhelming because it was almost too realistic, but then the humor throughout gave levity to even the darkest moments.
Taking off a star because even though their relationship steadily built and I enjoyed it immensely, the romance aspect felt like an afterthought.
