Review: Meet Lennie at the start of the book we meet her as she is grieving for her sister who tragically dies and the book follows Lennie her family and friends. Its mainly Lennie processing her greif and finding who she is without her sister. I loved the plot and the depiction of Greif as everyone greifa differently I liked Lennies poems through out the story on different things like coffee cup and paper and inside her beloved copy of wuthering heights this brings a who new dimension to Lennie charcture and her greif for Bailey. The writing style is good but there were problematic points in the book but thats mainly because of what Lennies feeling and wanting to be close to her sister but doing it the wrong way. The chractures are great and they all go on a journey Lennies progression is very well done and by the end you really want her to do well and hope that she can be herself and not in the shadow of Bailey or her Mom who is not around. Lennie has a great material figure in her Gran who is no nonsense and is also grefing bit trying to be strong for Lennie it feels in the book she is trying to keep her family together. So it feels upsetting whe Lennies gran does break down and reminds Lennie that Lennie is not the only one who is hurting. I loved the book it has some really good points I will read more of Jandi Nelson's books in the future. The book is a slow burner and then it hooked me in the middle but the petered out in the end. I felt the end was very emotional and wasn't rushed. 4.5 stars for me
