I am mad I've ever rated another book 5 stars.
This is the most beautiful book I've ever read, the first book that has ever seemed close to describing what my own depression feels like, the most perfect book of grief, the first book I've read that comes close to explaining how important it is to communicate with those who love us. I cried when I finished this book, not because it was sad, though it was, but because it is impossible to go back and read it for the first time again.

Read this for my online book club. This book made me very hungry and it was very sad and beautiful. I’ll admit I didn’t love the main character but she was interesting. The way the story played out was just perfect made up of a box with a bow. I wasn’t sure what my opinion of this book would be but I really enjoyed it. My actual rating would be 4.5 stars.
A lovely read with beautiful prose, lyrical imagery and sad but heartwarming emotions.
