I really enjoyed this one, quite a lot actually. If you’re in a reading slump, I highly recommend this, it’s short and really easy to get into.
I was fretful cause I was scared that it was going to be really heavy because I just finished another book that devastated me but no, this one is pretty realistic. It deals with heavy themes but it does it in a really realistic manner.
If you’re looking for a book that talks about grief this is the one. The author writes really smoothly.
I also enjoyed that the romance aspect is barely there and really took a backseat. It’s nice to see how we see more of their platonic relationship before giving us that hopeful tidbit at the end.
