As someone who's come from the journalism world, this made me miss my past experiences a teeny tiny bit. I thought the slow-burn buildup (which I personally am a fan of) was done in an entertaining way, and I thought that this did a fantastic job as showcasing the concept of grief in multiple facets. I do wish the ending was a little bit stronger and more dramatic (maybe something to tie in what happens at the beginning of the book), but otherwise I really like this one overall.
