A very sweet and endearing story about love and grief. It has a bit of a slow start but things do pick up. The ending is a little bit too picturesque but still good. I think all of the friendships/relationships developed really organically and I liked the slower development, it felt more real. 

Maybe I’m petty but I wish Nat never reunited her friendship with Edie. Forgiveness and moving up is one thing but I could never go back to what it once was. Then again no one has ever accused me of being too forgiving lol.
