Its a story about a girl who lost her only parent, her Mom, and how she deals with the world after that. She goes about her life finding herself alone, and then not. It's about found family, yet it is mainly about grief, and how different people deal with it.
Emotional. Packs a punch. The second person perspective made it hit harder than it should have.
A few things at the end feel rushed - I felt they were added as an afterthought... Just to add more pain and suffering in the character's life, or to introduce a few characters at the last moment.
Some thought provoking questions were asked, some tear jerking scenes. Can make you cry.
