Change Places with Me by Lois Metzger

This was fantastic.

I'm leaving my rating blank , because I just cannot decide between four or five stars yet.

Regardless , it was phenomenal.

What does this novel have ?
- A thought provoking message on the process of grief
- the impact memories or the lack of them have on your life
- sparse , impacting prose
- a heroine I adored.
- interesting plot
- heartbreaking discoveries

It was just good all around. Really , it leaves you with a little ache in your chest and a big bucket of hope.
Above all , its relatable because most people have gone through grief in their life. To go through it as a child has to be even more devastating .
I really felt for Clara/ Rose / Cora , but I love how I know she's going to be okay.
