I really enjoyed this book - I found myself swept up in the story. Brilliantly rendered, I found the scenes easy to imagine. Flowery, descriptive imagery helped me sink in and feel the pain and grief of these broken families. I appreciated how delicately the author approached grief as an overall concept, noting the varying emotions and frustrations that come with it. Overall, I enjoyed this book. It's lighthearted ending and complicated characters. I'd definitely recommend it.
