Ultimately, this was just not for me. The depictions of grief were sincere and well done. There was just too much millennial cringe in this one for my taste, and the near-constant references to real life books and authors took me out of the story every time they popped up. I loved the concept but the book dragged for me, was too predictable and repetitive, and felt too much like reading fanfic for my taste.
