Always loved Jaqueline Wilson as a child and decided to give this a read as an adult because I never really got around to it and I was surprised at how, mature so many of the themes explored in this book are. I think it's a lovely book to get children and young adults to think about and examine their grief and I think that it's a great way for adults with children/youn  adults in their life to get a sneak peak into the some of the thinking patterns and coping mechanisms they can use when dreaming with something so raw. 

It definitely was a painful read but an ultimately informative and hopeful one too. Props to Jacqueline for always writing complex, relatable female characters.
