A Little Hope by Ethan Joella
4.0
Writing grief well is tough, but this book hits so many notes so perfectly.
There were parts of the plot of this book that didn’t ring totally true, and I think that is mostly because writing fully fledged character journeys for everyone in an ensemble book that only covers an eight month timespan is just impossible when you need to meet certain page limits.
But this book is more about emotions than it is about plot, and in that realm, this was perfect in its raw messy-ness and I loved it.
