this is a treasure. so sweet, so kind, so honest, so well done. sometimes YA novels (this one the length of a short story) hold the wisdom of the ages. Sunday, the narrator and main character, is unforgettable.

Quotes by Richard Wagner  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I can't see the logic in medicating a grieving person like there was something wrong with her, and yet it happens all the time... you go to the doctor with symptoms of profound grief and they push an antidepressant at you. We need to walk through our grief, not medicate it and shove it under the carpet like it wasn't there.”
Richard Wagner, The Amateur's Guide to Death and Dying: Enhancing the End of Life
