I think this is a beautiful book, but it didn’t hit home for me in the way it may have for someone who’s had a close family member die. I just felt a bit distanced from the MC in that way. I loved the ace rep and how it was talked about, and I loved the friendships the MC forms. Great rage/grief book! Would love to come back to it in the future.
