Not a perfect book by any means. I thought they handled the complicated grief well. The romance.... I just didn't really understand why they fell for each other. But if I suspended my disbelief, it was fine. Helen's relationship with her parents also gave me pause, sure her mom wasn't great but it felt like Helen wasn't even trying to understand where they were coming from (literally), it was just woe is me, my parents don't hug me and never said I love you.
Graphic: Child death, Death, Panic attacks/disorders, Suicide, Grief, and Car accident
