Took a while to get to the meat of it, but I’m glad I stuck around.

When I first started this book, I couldn’t foresee it getting a good review. I found the pacing to be odd, I couldn’t relate to the main character. In the end, though, I really came to care for a few of the characters and the trauma they were sorting through. I’m a sucker for a good character portrait, and this one did a great job of that by the end. Grief and loss, love and lost love, are always difficult subjects, but this book handled them with care.
