okay so this book had been on my physical TBR for literally 3 years lol. wow. the writing is incredible. the tones of melancholy, humor, and grief all rolled up into one was just addicting and so relatable. as someone who has dealt with grief, especially grief relating to suicide, Toews depiction of the anger and love is just amazing. i loved this book.
