Jenna Evans Welch captures grief so accurately. So many little things happening to Lina happened to me too—the apologies from a mom who knows what she’ll miss, Sonia giving her the journal, people handing you memories and pieces of someone you’re losing.

Watching someone you love slowly become a collection of memories is such a specific kind of grief, and somehow Jenna got it exactly right.
