The Bookbag would like to thank the publishers for sending this book.
The intimacy with the characters, and my reactions to the subject matter, remind me of Alice Sebold's [[The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold|The Lovely Bones]], [[Swimming by Nicola Keegan]] or [[The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold|The Almost Moon]]. At a more literary level, Maggie O'Farrell's [[After You'd Gone by Maggie O'Farrell|After You'd Gone]] has a firm stamp of approval from The Bookbag.
