This book was not at all what I was expecting. It was rough and real and didn't pull punches. And was a really interesting narrative on some really heavy issues. What does it mean to be human? What lengths would you go to for your family? Should we do something just because we can? Grief. Loss. Love. The weight of expectations. All of it. 
 I admit, the ending left me a bit wanting, but overall a fantastic book. Very unexpected.
