This was a heartbreaking but sweet story. I really enjoy Dustin Thao’s writing. I loved You’ve Reached Sam. I liked Eric as an MC a lot, I felt for him throughout the story especially once it really unpacked all the loss he’s experienced. I did have a little bit of a hard time fully clicking with the story, I’m not sure why, but it was just hard for me to fully get invested into. I think it’s a beautiful story still with some great messages about grief and healing.
