Lovely story of multiple kinds of love.
Beautifully written and emotional.
I'd say, go into this one as blind as possible (but check tw)

"This is what I never knew about loss—it’s also about what you gain. You carry a weight that you never had before. It’s never behind you. It’s alongside you."

I loved this story. Heart-wrenching, funny, poignant, and desperately sad. I cried multiple times and thoroughly highlighted passages. The characters felt so textured and the emotions they felt and reactions they had seemed realistic and meaningful. I loved all the scenes with the core friend group—their friendship felt so real and their dynamic so lived-in. I definitely want to read more from this author. 

Read if you like emotional, funny, poignant stories about love and friendship and growing up in adulthood.
