this is a SPRING book.
think this book felt very human to me -there was no deep resolution to the main characters' struggles but there rarely is in real life. Grief is a continual struggle and deciding who/where we want to be in life is never really done and there's no answer that doesn't leave something out. I cried over Greta and her dad reconnecting in small, real ways rather than having a big emotional moment that changed everything. But at the same time would've loved a little more time for the resolution and had to take at least half a star for giving this summery of a cover to a book in which they wear coats. disgraceful
