I read this book in a day or two. It is very atmospheric and I needed to know what was going to happen next. However, there was something, and I think it was the romance aspect of it, that kept bringing me out of the book. I know I say this a lot, but there are just some books I think would be better if the romance was minimized. And this is one of them. It didn't really vibe with the rest of the book, which was a shame. The themes of grief and death and moving on were amazingly done though. I'm definitely going to be checking out the author's other books.

This book is very much about grief and moving on from the death of a parent.
