Trigger: grief and death

Hoping this is far enough down nobody gets triggered by it now. Sorry I’m trying!

So one of my best friends just texted me that her dad died in a horrible car wreck a couple days ago and I know that she is honestly just functioning right now cuz she has to. Shes got two young girls. I’m really close to her whole family, her mom, brother, even her aunt and I know how horrible this is likely hitting their family. This family has been like a second family to me at times and I even have some pictures from my friends wedding and the next day when her dad took me horseback riding in the mountains.

My friend isn’t necessarily a reader and I’ve looked through some lists on Pb already. But I need some help. I would like part of what I send her in a few weeks to be a book that can help with grief. Now I’m not talking like a book about handling grief because I don’t think that sends a good message so early, (like moving on or whatever) but something that any of you maybe have read that brought you some joy during a time of grief. A beautiful book of poetry? A story that just felt like a hug during the worst time? If I can find something good I’ll probably send both a copy to my friend and to her mom. Her sweet mom, I just can’t imagine. This is devastating. Any other advice is of course welcome. Honestly I wish I had the funds and the support for myself bc my first thought was to fly there and just be with her but I’ve got a newborn and it’s not exactly possible for me at the moment but thinking of when I can plan a visit soon.

The world is interesting and the characters are fun, but what exactly is the plot of this book? The writing style gets a bit annoying for all the questions in the internal monologue of our FMC.

I really didn't want to read this book. Was I peer pressured into reading this by BookTok? Yes! Will I most likely love this book? Also yes!
