While I originally thought the book was going to be very sad, I appreciate that it instead focuses on the story of a family and friends and how they have to learn to live with Claire's unusual request.
I don't know that I could say that many of the characters in this book are likeable, but I don't think they're supposed to be likeable. People do unlikable things when they're under intense stress so it makes sense anyway that everyone is a mess. What matters to me is that I feel like I can find a piece of myself in each of the characters, and I can definitely do that here.
The book takes it's time ramping up the conflict, but it's worth getting to the end of it and I feel like I came away from it with a different perspective on the varied lives we all lead.
There's a lot that happens in the book that was unexpected so I don't want to spoil it for you, but just know the book's definitely worth your time.
