smuttybisexual's review against another edition

I picked up this book because I was recommended this book by my favourite bookstagrammer @mygreypages on Instagram. By the way go check her page out guys, she is amazing!!!! I am going into this BLIND because all I know is that this an emotional book, so the best way to read an emotional book is going into it blind, so here I am and here goes nothing....
Lauren is ill with some terminal diagnosis and have been for a few months, she has been married to very beautiful man, Josh, who had been devoted to cure his wife since the day she got diagnosed. So, in first chapter, it is shown that she wrote a letter to her late dad about how she was going to celebrate Josh and her 3rd anniversary and the way it was written, my eyes welled up in the first chapter itself. If that is what is entailing in the rest of the book, I knew I would need to lock myself up in the bathroom to read this.
The letters Lauren wrote to her dad, the letter Lauren write for Josh, and the feelings that surrounded the atmosphere after Lauren's death, are the reasons why I cried entire way through the book to the very end. I will never recover from this story I know that, having experienced death of a much loved one first degree. Tears get uglier with every page turned.
You know what blew my breath away...when Lauren told Josh in her 7th letter to go see a medium (a medium who talks to the dead and transfers the message to their loved ones), Josh went to a medium and holy fuck! His heart was thundering but so was mine, because it was sooo damn emotional and true and for non-believer, Josh was getting over whelmed, especially when the medium told him he had a second marriage in his future with someone he knows but doesn't really know her. OMG! How can one take so much pain, I am crying while heart is beating loudly and the clouds outside my window are clashing...
The last letter was so heart breaking for me...because 1.) It finalized Lauren's death and 2.) I have to say goodbye to this book very soon. The last few chapter really took my breath away because it was tear jerker, heart wrenching, adorable, romantic and it felt as if fate really played the right cards or more like Lauren played the right cards from the Great Beyond.
Though, I am pretty sure, I'll revisit this book once again, but it won't hold the same emotions it held the first time I read it. Guys, I loved this book so much, as I am writing this, I am crying. Please please read this book, because if you don't read this book, you are missing out. Please do read this book. Take care, I am gonna go and have a cry.

I’m done with sad and sweet books for awhile. It was good but also heartbreaking. I don’t know that this is quite my preferred genre.

My husband suggested I don’t finish this book because I couldn’t stop crying. I even told the author I was risking dehydration due to this book. Sobbing…continuously. I have dying issues.
Lauren is married, wildly in love, and trying to picture her husband’s life without her because she has a terminal illness. Joshua, married to Lauren, determined to save Lauren, can’t imagine a life without her. Terminal being what it is, Joshua is left with letters from his dead wife to help guide him through his grief.
It’s a love story, it’s a sad story, it’s the best I’ve ever read from Higgins and I still have the heaving sobs.

Great! A bit too sad for my taste, but I still loved it. Didn’t love the fbombs, but other than language,very clean.

A tear jerker. This novel is about a married couple and it starts when the wife has died from a terminal illness. Throughout the first year after her death she has letters delivered to her husband. The story is told at different points in the couples lives and is a beautiful romance.
