I am heartbroken. This was the saddest book I've ever read to date and yet the most reflective. I've learned a lot about death and the confusing feelings surrounding it and how we need to learn to accept those feelings because human beings are anything from perfect. I'm so overwhelmed. I know I usually have a lot to say after I read books but I'm simply speechless. I think that's why it's getting a 5/5. This was such an important read and I recommend it to anyone.
