Alexis was still reeling from her brother's suicide, when she thought she sensed his presence. This feeling that he was with her was actually a blessing in disguise, as it pushed her to reconnect with people she had distanced herself from, find answers to why her brother took his own life, and begin her own healing.

Hand did such an incredible job making me feel Alexis pain, grief, and guilt. I shed many tears as I read this book, and there are a lot of gut punch moments captured expertly, but in the end, there was hope.

Overall: This was painful and beautiful and I really enjoyed it immensely.
