This book is just so wholesome. It deals with themes of loneliness, mental health and grief and how books have the power to heal us and bring people together. I haven't read most of the books on the reading list but the way they are woven into the narrative makes me want to read them and see how my journey compares to the characters journeys.
Mukesh reminds me, in a small way, to my Grandad and mirrors how reading helps Mukesh with his grief. And I love how Alisha's narrative alongside the books she is reading bring the issues of mental health to life, they make the atmosphere almost palpable.
