The way Nina LaCour weaves this crushing weight of loneliness throughout this entire story is so beautifully done. I found myself relating to the main character so much because it’s so weird to be in college surrounded by thousands of people but somehow still feel alone. This depiction of grief was very refreshing because it wasn’t just sadness or anger but the main character, Marin, not even being able to face her emotions and not being able to talk about how she was feeling. Her first instinct being to run away and leave everything behind to make it all disappear was very relatable to me. I ended this story with tears in my eyes and just wishing for Marin to find peace. This book was just so devastating but in the best of ways. I finally get why everyone gushes about Nina LaCour.
