I've had this book on my radar for a while, and I'm glad I finally got around to reading it. This book does such a good job at making you feel the grief of the main character. You are fully in her head the whole time and her emotions are described in such a way that make her feel so real. The tragedy she goes through is so heartbreaking, and my only criticism is that I wish that the full story was revealed a little sooner. It's not until the last fifty pages that you really understand what she went through, but even still this was a beautiful, heartbreaking, and hopeful story all around.
