piękna książka, daje dużo do myślenia. ale widać że jest napisana przez mężczyznę po tym ile razy faceci mówią Kazu żeby zdecydowała się urodzić dziecko, gdy jeden z nich nawet jej nie zna 🤡

An easy and relaxing read. I, personally, prefer the first book, but still enjoyed this one. Loved all the callbacks to events and characters from the first book, and getting some answers to questions that were left unanswered at the end of the first one.

Everyone grieves a little differently. This book shows the joy and closure that can come from moving through the grief and choosing to  reframe things. This book found me right when it needed to.
