An incredibly fitting read for my day today. I never laughed out loud so much at a book in my life! The various plot lines are a bit of a messy tangle, but I adored Patrick's voice and humor and how he interacted with the kids. This has a lovely voice and offers a legitimately hilarious perspective on grief and reconnection after loss.
