This was so meh and I feel so bad about it because I’ve loved the previous TJR books that I’ve read. I did enjoy what this book was trying to, and I think it will be great for a lot of other people, just not for me. I think so many others will be able to relate to this but I just can’t. I felt disconnected from the characters and the plot the entire time because I just didn’t care, which ultimately just made me feel worse.
I think so many people will love and appreciate this book but personally, I preferred Alice Hoffman’s depiction of grief in Faithful, it’s more my brand than this was.
I will definitely be picking up more of TJR’s books in the future though because I do really like her writing.

(also this is such a nitpick but the mc is constantly talking shit about ya and it pissed me off so I thought I'd mention it.)
