I did not expect to both start and finish this book in the same day. I tried to put it down but just kept licking it right back up.
What a complex, heart wrenching, personally very familiar portrait of grief and love.
I also saw a strong lesson regarding parents having a vision of who their kids should be and the need to let that dream die and instead love & accept them for who they actually are.
I absolutely loved the multiple pov format. It suited this story so perfectly. So impressed with this book. Well done.
