I absolutely loved this book. It was so beautifully written. I had just finished reading Jane Eyre prior to reading this, and it was so well timed because of all of the references. I enjoyed the flashbacks and slowly uncovering the events of the main characters past as she processed them herself too.

This was a really difficult book to read, but I read it at the perfect moment in my life. I recently lost my grandpa(thankfully not like how it was in the book), so it was really important for me to read this about grief. I really liked the main character and how she dealt with her grief and all she found out about her grandfather. I enjoyed seeing her relationship with Mabel change, but still be very important. I also liked the ending and it was bittersweet.
