I struggled with this book at first, it felt very abstract. But as it went on I found I couldn't put it down and needed to keep reading to see what would happen. It is short, but felt dense. The perspective shifts were a bit jarring, without any indication of who was telling the story. Luckily there were only 2 perspectives. I did get used to it though and I think it emphasized the point that both characters were grieving and struggling, and more similar than they realized or wanted to admit. Not my favorite book, but I'm glad I finished it.
