What can I even say? This is a raw, brutal and beautiful book about the most irreparable disaster a human can endure, the loss of a little child. Delaney writes beautifully and without holding back how he felt. I'm thankful for the tears and the perspective it gave me.
I don't know how you properly review a book about the true loss of a child. It was sad, funny, honest and if you have suffered the same loss, know someone who has or you just want to feel something deep, read this book.
Strongly advise parents with young children or soon-to-be parents to give this one a miss. It's very sad and the humour is so dark that it follows you for a while after finishing the book. There are lessons to be learned if you're grieving, but the main takeaway is probably to never assume you can fully comprehend what others are going through.
