The structure of this book is fabulous. The layering of the three stories is so clever. I really enjoyed reading it, I devoured it in a day!
I love the accuracy in the description of grief. I enjoyed the inclusion of the female tree surgeon, the older gay couple’s story, and the fact O’Leary didn’t shy away from topics like sexual harassment, miscarriage, and dementia. I adored AJ’s character, and I think it’s a testament to O’Leary’s writing that none of the side characters felt flat or pointless. The mention of Covid times was beautifully handled too.
I just love happy endings!
