I really loved this book. If you have lived with intense grief, then you know when someone who has also suffered is writing about it.  Emma Grey writes grief incredibly well. It is both difficult and cathartic to read.  I was in teas at numerous points throughout the book, but so excited to see where the journey would take the characters. Highly recommend if you are in a place where you can read an emotional, but still hopeful book.

This book was beautiful and hard and heavy. 

I can only imagine the debilitating loss that comes after your spouse dies. This book captured that grief—losing yourself, becoming a single parent, having to return to “normal”—so well. Despite being overwhelmingly sad at times, there was still joy, humor, and a bit of romance. 

It’s a little over two years after Kate’s husband died and she’s holding it together for her young son. Being thrown suddenly into being a single parent has forced her to grieve inwardly and only when time allows for it—which isn’t often. But when a work trip goes haywire, she finally has the time away from her son to process the depth of her loss. 

Expect to be a bit heartbroken with this one.

This book is very heavy and truly a story about grief.

Kate is coming back to herself after the death of her great love, Cameron, two years earlier. There are lighthearted moments, lots of growth and revelations, and a bit of romantic reawakening. A few surprises too.
