If this book was about 100 pages shorter, I think I would have given it 5 stars. The last act of this book was great, and I grew to really enjoy Hannah as a narrator. Lord depicted grief incredibly well all throughout, and the side characters were fun and well developed. I only have an issue with the pacing. The beginning was a bit slow to me, and by the time I got to the end I found I had lost track of some of the plot points from the beginning, especially the relationships between different characters. Still, the ending was incredibly strong and had an overall good message.
