This was lovely story about found family.
I will say the start of the book (around 14% in I did audio) completely gutted me. There should have been a trigger warning at the start of the book. Especially as I was reading it a year out to saying goodbye to my sweet boy. I also came across the somber chapter as I was getting ready for work and had to redo my makeup all over. Lol. But afterwards and the the found family began and Albert came into is true self surrounded by so much much love. I’d like to think Gracie had a way of making this happen in heaven.
I’m curious to see what the sequel will be about and look forward to reading to it in the future.
