A beautiful look at friendship, grit, and caring for others selflessly. The book had a thoughtful focus on loss and grief - whether thru death, lost dreams, lost expectations, or lost relationships - and what hope looks like despite that. I thought it was very well done and really thought-provoking and at times emotional. 

The treasure hunting and mystery was also intriguing and even fun. It made me curious and invested and lended a little bit of a lighter feel to the heavier nature of what Mercy and Rusty were dealing with personally. 

Loved the cameo from All the Lost Places too. Enjoyed the book throughly.
