lush and beautiful. i really liked the focus on nature's cycles and how grief and nature and life and death are all connected and all inform each other. i liked the framing with the art pieces, but thought the end was a little rushed/thesis-statement-y - but frankly i resonate with the thesis statement so whole heartedly it gets a pass.

I was deeply excited for this book but this was a major let down. If I drank everytime she used an analogy or a metaphor I would have died of alcohol poisoning.
There was so many words and so little said! There was no plot. It was supposed to be about grief but we spent most of the time describing the taste of the horizon and our relationship with our girlfriend. This would have made more sense if it was in first person. It being in third really did a detriment to the story and the character. She was confusing and unlikable because you couldn’t understand her thinking.
