Easiest 5 stars of all my reads so far this year. My favorite part about this story was how just... Well the characters were. Yes there was grief, yes there were messy emotions and hurt, but there was also constant communication and care for each other. The writing was excellent and all the themes in the story were handled with such nuance. I love this book.
