It's all about grief and moving on. Not that impactful compared to the ones I've read before but it was worth reading. I like how Sam was very realistic with his thoughts even though Jules was being delusional and all (I'm not judging her for that since she's dealing with the death of a loved one). It was overall a good book. It made me tear up at some parts since the gmc was very emotional throughout the book.

Well, personally, it was pretty hard to read through. I am interested in reading novels that tackles about mental health and the mind but I had a hard time finishing this one. I've dropped it a few times before I was able to finish it. The mental issues are well described and there were characters that had a lot of potential but the flow of the story wasn't that immersive for me. I just didn't want to leave it unfinished that's why I didn't drop it. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed.
