A very heartfelt take on grief and loss and how it affects the relationships around us. I liked the sisterly bond, but I also felt that both sisters seemed a little bit too one dimensional. Maybe it was the writing style and the fact that it was written in a free poetic way, but I wasn’t as invested in either character. Maybe because I’m not the target audience, but I found the book to be almost too basic in its exploration of grief, I kept feeling like I wanted more.
