I don’t know how to feel about this book. It will definitely haunt me. I am terrified of bears and felt that connection to Sam through the whole book.

Two sisters, taking care of their ill mother, and having different reactions. I found this deep look into sisterhood and grief rather fascinating. Added to it the level of understanding that we all went through with the pandemic and it’s definitely not a book I’ve ever read before.

For the first time in a long while, I don’t have a comp genre, a comp title, or even an explanation of who should read this one. It’s not “thrilling” in a way that’s fast moving, but more like you’re on a long ferry ride inside the mind of a girl going through crap and unable to emotionally connect to anyone.

That’s about it. I appreciate the publishers for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
