A couple of content warnings are needed for this one for suicidal ideation and discussion of death/ dying with dignity. You also might need a box of tissues nearby.

The story is told through Indigo’s point of view, so we have a distorted version of pretty much everyone initially, because Indigo’s perception is that she is the unloved twin and the family screw-up. She sees Violet as the much loved twin and feels that everyone would be much happier if their circumstances were switched and it was Indigo who is dying, not Violet.

My heart broke over and over throughout the story. For Indigo, who sees herself as the source of all of the family’s problems. For Violet, suffering through the failure of her lungs and kidneys. For the family, facing the loss of a beloved child. For Indigo again, trying so hard to save her sister.

Indigo learns so much about herself and her family along the journey, repairing relationships that were strained through misunderstandings, and coming to understand herself, her twin, and her family.

This is a beautiful story, and I cried reading the ending.
