I loved this. It's great to have an Ashley Herring Blake story about grief and loneliness as it stays with you as an adult, which feels weird to open with but it's ultimately what I most appreciated about this book. Delilah is really well written; it's very apparent in her dynamic with Claire that Claire has had to learn to communicate decently but Delilah's various traumas have made it hard to find her words. Delilah bonding with Ruby over art and just kindred soul-ness is also really beautiful.
