I found this book at random at a bookstore and immediately put it on hold at my library. As someone who has been living in a space of grief for a good part of my life, I feel like this book is a great, poignant example of that. Each of the main characters has something they're grieving, and the ways each character handled it was well done and relatable. Would recommend to anyone who finds themselves in a similar space, although I urge caution for anyone in depressive episodes.
