What Remains True
by Janis Thomas
4.5 overall
I received What Remains True as an ARC on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Five year old Jonah is dead. And each member of his family is hurting. Each member also blames themselves for the death of Jonah in some way-- thinking their one action led Jonah straight to his grave.
Told from alternating perspectives-- his dad, mom, sister, aunt, dog, and Jonah himself-- we are slowly brought to the worst moment of this family's life. While we get there, we are submerged into the grief a family feels when losing a child.
My only complaint was the dog's perspective. I understand the part it was supposed to play in the whole plot, I just did not find it necessary. The book would not have been worse without it. Otherwise, I enjoyed this book dearly and will recommend this one to many friends.
