3.5 stars
Before this book even begins in earnest, the reader learns that Nicole has committed suicide, leaving her husband and three children grief-stricken and confused. What follows is an exploration of sadness, love and the importance of family. This is a slow moving, quiet novel and works well as a depiction of family in despair. It does focus so much on family that all side characters are not well explored and even the small town where they live is often alluded to but never fully developed which I found to be frustrating at times. That said, I thought the familial relationships were fully explored and I found myself rooting for them all to come through their sorrow in the end. I received this book through LibraryThing in exchange for an honest review.
