This book is so sweet and sad but inspiring at the same time. And the format is so cool as well: dual-pov narrative poetry. I listened to the audiobook, and the listening experience was truly great. It is a wonderfully crafted book, and it handles the flaws and the developments of characters with so much grace and understanding. It is a very hopeful look at what can happen to a messy family after the worst tragedy imaginable. I would very strongly recommend!
