This book is so heavy on trigger warnings, and they are expressed in detail. However, they are handled incredibly well in this book, but still be aware of them going into it, please! It's a beautiful book, but please do not read it if you are triggered by any of the content!katrod's review against another edition

This book is about a woman who just lost her husband to suicide, and having recently lost a friend to suicide, it wasn’t the right choice. Proceed with caution if you’ve lost a loved one or have any difficulty with mentions of suicide.
The grief in this book is overwhelming. It’s like you’re swimming in the ocean and all of a sudden you’re being pummeled by wave after wave with no relief or break to come up for air. It feels like drowning.
There wasn’t much else in this book except the processing of her grief and I just wasn’t ready.
