I did not expect to fall so deeply into the texts of this book. Each sentence was one I cling to during this journey. The ending is something bitter & sweet that doesn’t lose focus on the human element. Each relationship is a thread I found myself clinging to for their own unique reasons.

Beautifully written & executed.
