cityjacko's review against another edition

This is a very moving story of how different members of a family deal with their grief in a variety of different ways following the loss of a member of the family in a tragic road accident. The writing style is very engaging and I became invested in all members of the family as they battled their own demons alone before ultimately re-uniting in order to be able to move on. The book had the capacity to make me both laugh and cry at times and was a very enjoyable read which stayed with me for quite a while after I finished it.
I am grateful to Netgalley and the publishers for an ARC of this book and I am leaving my honest review voluntarily.
