 Non so se sia stato il formato o la mia abilità di (non) usare i miei neuroni nell'ultimo mese, ma non sono riuscita ad anticipare un plot twist per tutto il romanzo (tranne uno, ma era talmente minuscolo che neanche lo conto). La scrittura è a tratti banale, ma onestamente non mi aspettavo niente di che e ne sono uscita piacevolmente stupida, quindi promosso su tutti i fronti.

I understood the context of this short story in the last ten pages and this time it's not even Tamsyn fault. 

(Also, I feel like this story wants me to acknowledge some things I'M NOT READY FOR)

I like books about grief and death, but this didn't do anything to stick out to me. 
Cute characters, I liked the raw emotion in some scenes. I would have preferred a different ending, tho.
