The characters in this book, especially Patrick and the kids, each shine with their unique light. Patrick may hide his grief, but he never hides his personality as he quotes famous gay icons and actors in musicals in every breezy conversation as if the kids can or should be able to follow what he’s saying. As he helps the kids through their grief, he starts to deal with a past loss of his own.
