Reviews

Shreeve, who herself experienced parental loss as a teen, builds on her experiences as a writer, literary scholar, and autoethnographer to craft a surprisingly readable collection of facts, figures, pop culture references, strategies, and most importantly personal stories that as a collection can work as a powerful therapeutic tool to assist those who are grieving. Geared towards the young adult, Shreeve's work is written in a comforting, approachable tone and would be the ideal first book for teens experiencing parental loss.
