Really liked the story overall; the main character; exploration of grief, coping, and family dynamics; and the dual timeline/multiple POVs. Although already on the shorter side of a book, I still felt like it dragged in places and sometimes lacked the sense of urgency, despite it being concerned with a countdown to a possible death, and the main goal being preventing the death.

It is a fascinating tale that weaves time and family and each unique situation together. The carnival theme was an interesting take as well. 3.5 stars
