I mean, I knew just from the description of the book that it was going to be an intense, grief-filled story. It's about a daughter who loses her mother during the COVID pandemic.
While the story was heartbreaking, as I expected, I wasn't as strongly connected to the daughter's pain as I thought I would be, which ultimately left me feeling a bit disconnected from the story overall by the time I finished reading.
Obviously people experience different stages of grief in their own time, and everyone is different; however, for this particular book, I felt like the tone jumped all over a place, a bit much, and too fast, for my personal liking. And the anger, though an under stable part of grief, felt a bit misplaced at times.
The story was also more centered around COVID than I was expecting. I was hoping it would be more about how much Hill loved and missed her mother.
Overall, I'm glad the author got to share her story with the world, though.
