The only thing stopping me from giving this book 5 stars was I wished Yasmen & her friends were at least a little petty when it came to Josiah & Vashti but I also understand that these characters were GROWN & mature & of course acted accordingly. 
The way Mrs. Kennedy Ryan wrote this story of loss, grief & second chances was amazing. The story of how suffering a loss can impact the family unit as a whole as well as effect the individuals of said family unit *chefs kiss* this book is definitely a favorite of the year.
