A memoir about navigating grief after the loss of an ex-boyfriend; an ex who was abusive. Stein captivated me from the start of her story about her and Jason, and she writes about her inner emotions so well. The part that made me the most emotional, however, was the end. The epilogue links back to how I found out about this novel and though I don't know Stein, I feel pride in her accomplishments and this novel's publication. She shares so much of herself that I felt like I was reading a diary of a close friend by the end.
