The premise of this book is devastating enough, but by the end, you'll realize Dustin Thao doesn't shy away from creating twists that will make the book even more sad. Usually I can see when twists are coming, but I definitely didn't see this one coming. Talk about an emotional morning listening to an audiobook lol.

Anyway, I don't think this book is as strong as Thao's debut, but the exploration of grief is beautifully done. It shows how lonely it can be, as Eric tries to work his way back out into the world by making new connections. 

If you do pick this one up, get ready to have your heart broken.
