I listened to the audiobook and the narrator sounded like either Holly Hunter or Jodie Foster. I found it unpleasant, but that's a me issue. I didn't care for the excessive cussing either. All in all, Hello Stranger was MUCH better.

All these topics are touched on but not in graphic detail. The book truly just focuses on a woman pushing through her grief.

This book has it all. Absolutely enjoyed reading it. Love, family, friendship, hope… but also grief, betrayal, trauma. 

Very easy written. Couldn’t lay it down.
