I honestly found this book heart breaking but that was down to the sheer talent of the writing, the characters and the story. At first I found it hard to connect and did feel quite drained by it, BUT, I was soon hooked and reminded myself that it was realistic. Losing someone is the worst pain, and you can't change it. You have to grow. Thanks for a lovely read
I liked the other Josie Silver books I have read, but this didn’t do it for me :/

The concept of this book sounded so fascinating to me but unfortunately it just fell a little flat. I had a hard time missing Freddy because, when he was initially introduced, he came across as a jerk and my gut reaction was, “Dump him, Lydia.” Even throughout the Asleep chapters when his character became a little more likable, I still couldn’t really connect with him. In the end, when he abandoned his new wife on their honeymoon to go work, I went right back to hating him. Who does that??? I was also confused about the introduction of Christopher because the author deserted him pretty quickly. It seemed pointless to bring him in as a love interest for Lydia and then he disappears a few minutes later. All that said, I liked a different book by this author (Winter in New York) enough to give her another try after this even though this book wasn’t my jam.
