Lia Louis will always be a must-read author for me. She never shied away from the truly tough shit, the seasons of life that feel unbearable until you find yourself on the other side of them. This book takes grief and wrings it out onto a page in the best way possible. It’s visceral, it’s hopeful, it’s full of a fantastic mix of characters. Made me cry, made me laugh, made me want to make music again.
