I was late to the party on this book, but now I understand all they hype. I found this book very tender and compassionate. I saw that it was categorized as contemporary fantasy and although I don't disagree I'd would add that there isn't a great deal of "world building" as in many fantasy stories. It was all very relatable in a current world setting. If that makes sense. 

Highly recommend this book Trigger warning for grief and death (that is what the story is about)
