tell the wolves i'm home by carol rifka brunt

It's so hard to write about a book I love without discussing every plot point/character and how wonderful they are. For me this book was about seeing people complexly and understanding that we all know and hold onto different pieces of our friends and family members. They mean something different to each of us and understanding that is key to truly knowing someone. June, the main character, comes to know more about who her uncle was as she develops a trusting and loving relationship with his boyfriend after his passing. They go on adventures and talk about the man they knew and how he affected their understanding of the world. I experienced every emotion reading this book, and ended with tear-filled tissues everywhere. It was worth every single one.
