It took me a while to sit down and read this fully but when I finished I was glad I did. I enjoyed this despite boarder-line having an anxiety attack after every mention of Mr.Harvey. I think it’s a well written Book however and I would recommend reading it. Despite it being really sad and heartbreaking it was interesting to read about the Salmon family and to experience this loss with them.
