I absolutely loved this book. A tender and at times painful exploration of families, loss, and addiction, that was fully relatable to me (even though I don't share the same background as the characters). The audiobook was beautifully read, and I cared deeply about the characters, who were all treated with respect by the author. A layered and nuanced portrayl of human relationships.
