If I could give this book all the stars, I would. It was such a beautiful story with a lightness to it I didn't quite expect with death being at the forefront. Clover was such a complex character and she's probably one of my new favorites. I loved the Letters to Juliet vibes toward the end of the book. I think this may be one of my favorite books I've read not just this month or year, but of all time. I cried, but also felt like I was being held in a warm hug. Brammer addressed grief so well as well as the idea that life and death are always intertwined. This book was sad, but in a different way than I expected, but also so reflective and engaging. I loved this book more than I can fully describe and I know it'll be a comfort read for me going forward. Huge thank you to St. Martin's Press for sending me an ARC to read and review.
