Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC! I’ll post a review shortly in advance of publication!
***Updated on 3/2/20 in accordance with publication...
3.75 stars
This is a moving verse novel written from the perspectives of two sisters, both of whom are dealing with the aftermath of their mother's death, father's remarriage, and another source of more recent familial loss.
I wish I had gotten to know the characters a bit better, but I did enjoy learning about their relationship, their independent processing of their mother's death, and their evolving sense that there could be some kind of healing on the horizon. The final scene did a lot for me in ramping up the overall quality of the work. I love the symbolism, find it totally appropriate for the audience, and think this is a great representation of how grief comes in many forms.
Overall, this is a pain-filled but hopeful work -

Oh my gosh, you read it! May I ask how to request to do that? I think I've seen you do it with a few others as well.

Oh, I’m on fire with the ARCs lately. I have about 20 to go still before I’m caught up. I use NetGalley. Go to their site, set up a profile, and read the instructions for requesting, etc. If you get stuff, definitely review it using the recommendations/requirements they provide (like not posting reviews publicly until two weeks of publication).
Thank you! That's fantastic.
Yes! No guarantees. I’ve gotten approved for stuff I never thought I’d get and denied for stuff that ...confused me. Let me know how it goes for you!
