It was fine. There are a lot of helpful tips for someone grieving and just reading about someone's experience would be helpful too, I imagine. I guess when I read autobiographies or such I want to read something more vulnerable and raw, this book is more of an outline of Lottie's story, there wasn't enough of going into details and reflecting deeper for me. For someone who enjoys autobiographies it felt more like a self-help book, only it wasn't structured like one either. The story's all over the place too, every chapter starts like it's going to tell you about one specific period in her life, but then she goes to mention something that happened way later, I was confused where I was in the story sometimes even though I somewhat knew the timeline beforehand. But she's not a writer, so it can be forgiven. Worth a read, especially if you're going through something like losing a loved one or just through a hard time and you feel like it will never end
