Summer Bird Blue
by Akemi Dawn Bowman
“Grief is a monster - not everyone gets out alive, and those who do might only survive in pieces. But it's a monster that can be conquered, with time.”
This book packed all the punches. It was raw and at times uncomfortable but it is one of the best depictions of grief and all the messiness that surrounds it that I have ever read. In addition to grief, Rumi coming to terms with her identity and her sexuality was well written as well. There is a scene of her realizing that she maybe doesn't need to have it all figured out right this moment and that's okay.
I really loved this book and can't wait to read more from this author.
