This book was really good and sad at the same time. I really felt the pain of the salmon family and I loved how I could follow their grieving.
It was very realistic in the sense of not getting any closure. I also really enjoyed the fact that we are viewing it from Susie’s perspective and how she yearns to be with her family and make it right.
It was a really good book and very sad. I really do feel sorry for what the characters went through but I’m glad they have managed to move on.
