What a devastating novel! It was amazing to read in the acknowledgements just how many pieces of Emma Grey herself were included in this story. Kate’s husband died two years ago, and she wonders if she will ever be able to remove herself from an unending spiral of grief. Can she open her heart to Hugh, a friend who has been there through every step of her loss, and a man who will drop everything for someone in need? I felt that the scattered timeline of this novel took away from the story at times, but even still, the pages had my emotions flickering between sadness and laughter. I definitely teared up a couple of times. I would recommend this for fans of Abby Jimenez—that woman always rips my heart out.
