I listened to this entire audiobook today, so I'd say the story is definitely engaging. It's a character-driven exploration of grief and coping with the loss of a loved one, especially a parent. But there are also conversations about art, about writing, and about dating/relationships. There's a little bit of something for everyone in this book. 

The characters are really what drive this story, especially Jamison and his art project. He's trying to find a way to connect with his mother who had passed away from cancer with his camera. I honestly loved the concept of his project, taking photos at 9:09, which was the time that his mother passed away. There's a lot of reflection in this book, and while sometimes that kind of book can seem slow, Parsons still did a good job keeping up the pace.

I don't think this book got a lot of buzz or promotion, but it's definitely one to keep on your radar!
