A wonderful novel to inspire, give hope, and make you pause to reflect. It tackles the subject of grief, in its different forms in a beautiful and respectful way. I really liked all the characters in the novel- I didn't get annoyed by any of them, which is quite a feat!
The heavy (trigger warning content) topics are done so in a way that still allows the book to remain hopefully and light-hearted. So this isn't a book that will drag you down, in fact, it is to buoy you up.
Loved it.
