drawn out a bit.
where Stephen King takes 3 paragraphs to overly describe what it's like to walk through wet grass barefoot, Adjoa Andoh takes half a book to describe Eve grieving. like, it takes half the book to finally make headway in the story.
there are some trigger warnings, obvs the book deals with suicide, but careful, it goes into deep detail of how Q does it later on.
it wasn't the gut punch sad story I thought it'd be. we barely get to know Q which makes it hard to become attached to him and mourn his death. I would've liked more back story and heart for Q and Eve instead of 6 hours of crying, puking, and being an a$$hole to a wonderful support system and her few stories of him mostly centred around their life in university, and by life, I mean sex life.
but 6 hours later the story take a turn, the characters finally become more fleshed out and in some cases a bit relatable in their impatience and tough love. some fresh new players enter and call out Eve in ways we all needed, especially her.
overall the story was decent, I don't regret reading (or rather, listening to) it, but I wouldn't recommend it to folks needing an emotionally charged and cathartic read.

An excellent read.
A very well written and read story about the deep grief experienced when suicide claims someone you love deeply. Eve captures us with her bits of humour and walks us through her grief with her descriptive narration. Truly a great read despite the topic of suicide.
