Painstakingly, you watch the family struggle to accept their grief while a community never stops moving forward.
I guess the message the author wanted to leave us with would be life goes on. Remembering those you've lost along the way doesn't have to be painful... Lastly, it's a stark reminder, that justice isn't always served, but monsters still meet their end.

Up until this month (November 2023), I never knew The Lovely Bones movie was made from a book. I immediately knew I needed to read it. There was definitely more to the story. So much depth, sadness, answers, happiness, and the tragedy before, during, and aftermath of Susie's murder. Every new detail was heartbreaking. I couldn't stop reading.
I'm so glad I read this book. What a beautiful outlook on life and death, and what we leave behind and where we go when we leave this world. 🥺
