3.0

The narrative was a bit too skeletal, there were unfinished story arcs and I had some issues including the story's use of dialect and the setting of the 'island' where most of the story takes place. Otherwise, this is an absorbing, impactful romance that explores grief with dramatic tension and artistry.
