This is one of those pieces of literature that will work for some and not work for some.
It’s split into 3 POV’s and all are written differently which I found to be really interesting, almost giving us that physical difference that we are now in someone else’s pocket. One POV is not linear which really threw me for a loop and was not my favorite timeline wise but I actually did enjoy their story.
Overall this is a story of grief and loss, and the evolution of friendship and family. Family can be messy and friendships can suck sometimes but at the end of the day, as long as you have some good people in your corner, someone will always have your back! Life truly wasn’t meant to be done alone and I loved that about this book.
The ending is a bit unresolved for my taste but I can definitely understand why that POV was chosen🥹
