The most succinct and poignant expression of grief. I laughed and cried as the story came to its inevitable conclusion and then laughed and cried some more.

A messy and beautiful story about dying, grief and life in general. Sometimes life is messy and for once we have a short book where the author isn’t afraid to show it.

Absolutely gorgeous sections on dealing with grief. My cheeks are wet with tears from the last few chapters. Read the whole thing in one sitting, a good, nice quick read! ❤️
