  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

Aaah, this had so much potential, unfortunately, this is about a 3.5 stars. I think the writing and character work was exquisite but other than that, the plot and the pacing were lacking. Would still recommend for people who wish to learn more about grief or see grief in the pages.
