Personal Thoughts

I thought this book was fine. It was a good read but it wasn't anything spectacular. I really liked the way the author talked about grief. I thought the plot was interesting but for some reason it wasn't enough to keep me reading. I didn't really actually care about the characters so sometimes I had a hard time finding motivation to read the book.

Book Rating

★★★☆☆ (3.75/5) stars

Originally I rated this lower but I thought the plot was very interesting so I decided to raise it to 3.75 stars.
