"What's a gift?" 
"Life. Especially after seeing how fragile it can be. 
You're broken for some time, yes. But then you pick yourself up again."

There are so many things I wish I could say but I try to limit myself a bit because review pages have a word limit. 
Let me start with how you grow attached to all and any of the souls you meet in the House of Frank, of the way the cherubs are the way are, how Hilde will sit down with you over a cup of tea and Oli will tell you about pirate stories, how Saika will try to help you no matter what and how everyone. And I mean everyone. Will sneak into a place in your heart.
This story is extremely heartfelt. And I loved it with every page I read. Grief and loss are such important matters. And it is shown in many of its forms here. Which makes it so gripping. So understandable. And yet it also shows very wonderfully but also messy healing can be.
