thanks to @booksparks for this one! flew through it since getting home yesterday (pun intended!) and wow it’s not for the faint of heart. it’s a story of love and loss centered around 9/11, so triggers abound, and it’s mostly pretty raw and heartbreaking and weighty to read. i don’t know if i ever would have felt “ready” to read a book about 9/11 like this, but at the same time, i’m glad to have read this as i feel much more empathy toward those who lost loved ones in such a horrifically tragic way. the author told this story with honesty and heart, which i appreciated. but oof— a heavy one!
