emotional informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

I went into this with the full intention of not knowing anything about the premise or the author. And what an absolute joy and privilege to get to know this small family. A galaxy made from violence, gravity, and time. And the world receives every form of art that has grown from this grief in grand abundance. I will happily help to carry the weight and celebrate her life. I see her mother in my mother.

what a gorgeous book, words flowing from story to story, a deeply personal insight into michelle’s life and journey through grief. 

the haverford and bryn mawr references towards the beginning were pretty cool to know — 100% a must read for bico students
