This felt so strangely personal and intimate. I read it basically in two sittings (only stopping on the first one because it was 3am and I was crying). Cave's portrayal of people is so realistic it made me instantly feel like I knew who everyone in the book was already. The way she writes dialogue and texting as more like a script made conversations flow and very much reminded me of her one-woman shows.
Highly recommend, her portrayal of grief feels realistic and heartbreaking, and although I know I cry at a lot of books, I think if you've got siblings be warned and don't read it in public.
