It's so hard to review this since I think its impact really depends on your experiences. Yes, I can talk about the visuals, the dialogue, the capturing of the raw emotion of the acceptance of loss. But none of those things really encompass how I feel about this book. I will say that it was very good and I recommend it to anyone. I read it, knowing the effect it would have on me because I am very familiar with this sort of situation. But I am glad I read it because sometimes fiction is the truest way to deal with these sort of experiences. And this book does exactly what it sets out to do: it heals. 
 I think it was a fitting choice to end my challenge.
