This was such a beautiful and unique book. It’s really different from most stories I’ve read because it focuses on grief and what it feels like to grow up while dealing with the pain of losing someone you love. The way it’s written is super emotional but also quiet and thoughtful, and it really makes you think. I liked how real it felt — like the main character’s feelings were totally relatable, especially with all the confusing stuff that comes with being a teenager. Definitely a meaningful read!
