You think sadness has a kind of beauty, he tells me once. I don’t, I say but he is right. He is not right anymore. He is not anything anymore.
Such a vulnerable, raw confession of what grief can look like. I didn't want to rate this book at first because of just how deeply exposing this book must have been for Lin. The changing time frames holds weight as the reader is empathetic to Lin's current grief before being pulled into a past memory in which the reader gets know Kurtis and feel the emptiness of his not being there in the present. This memoir felt as though we were sitting one-on-one, Lin recounting her and Kurtis' story to me.

On a scale from 1 to 5, typically, using half stars if necessary.

If the emotional value is incalculable, I default to 5. It’s a feat.
