Well written and a good look at grief in various forms and how everyone responds to it in different ways. 

I will say it was extremely sad, and I knew the ending was coming for the majority of the book. But I wasn’t just sad for the ending but rather, all thru the book between Josie and Max. I struggled with both of their refusals to talk and show compassion towards the other, instead letting their wounds dictate their response, even in opposite extremes.
