This book is a wonderful representation of grief and loss, delving deeply into the emotional and mental toll of losing a loved one. What begins as a sweet romance between two characters deeply in love takes a tragic turn. While I found the dual timelines to be a bit distracting, as they seemed to take away from the overall story, I believe it would have been more effective to focus entirely on the past timeline in the first half and then shift to Killian's perspective post-accident in the second half, with a twist at the end. This approach might have allowed the narrative to unfold more naturally. Additionally, the excessive detail about the characters' lives, while perhaps intended to deepen the story, ultimately made the pacing feel static. Despite these issues, the book’s central message—while heartbreaking—is undeniably relatable and addresses an important, often overlooked topic that deserves more attention.
