That being said I do feel the topics of infertility, mental illness, toxic parent child relationships, death, and grief were dealt with and presented gracefully, yet raw.
Infertility is discussed frequently and in detail with a variety of emotions and projected outcomes in this story.
I really enjoyed this book, and the writing was visceral and raw. Kristen was layered and real.
I wish Josh had had more layers to him, as his POV helped flesh out Kristen more than himself.
A thing I could have gone without was Josh's inner thoughts regarding Kristen as "not like other girls" and "cool and probably dated a college guy in high school".
I wish we could have spent more time in the "after" portion of the couples lives. I am hopeful to get glimpses of it in the sequels.
