Why I decided to pick up a book about loss and grief and saying goodbye, while I am actively still grieving....well I can never really know why my mood reading does what it does. But I can say I did cry a lot during this book. Sometimes happy tears! And it felt good because as I learned in this book, it is good to feel it all, rather than repress and act uninterested, even when it hurts so much. I love a good roadtrip book, so even though this was a dying wish, last trip, I enjoyed the journey and honestly have added a few places to my future travel plans.  The author writes some seriously poignant scenes and the emotions were so vibrant and really pull at you.  I loved all the characters (every single one and especially the side characters who brought much needed smiles and laughs).  No spoilers but the way this book talks about becoming your true self and that even if you don't feel okay, your mind is not your enemy, was really beautiful.

Highly recommend the audiobook and both narrators do a fabulous job bringing these characters and their growth and emotions off the page!
