I really liked the book. I was not connected with what was suppose to be the live story between Elsie and Ben but maybe we are not suppose too. The focus is on grief and how we deal with grief and how others place their beliefs on how long one should grieve based on how long you know someone. I recommend I wonder if I would have enjoyed it more listening to the book versus reading the physical book. I read the physical book for this 2023 Physical TBR read.
