This book is sad and depressing. Which you get from the synopsis but the synopsis also makes it seem like the character gets out of the depressive state she’s in with help from the dog. But she doesn’t. There’s no plot. These no character development. If you’re a pet owner don’t read it because there’s discussion AT LENGTH about animals dying, having to be put to sleep etc. no thank you.
