This book takes the concept of grief and shows it as the hungry monster it really is. It's appropriately heavy but also really weird in a way that kind of hides the impact until you step away and take the time to think about what's going on. I do think the tone was a little too samey for the four different perspectives, but overall it was just a moving and heartbreaking story about how far people will go for love.
