The Museum of Ordinary People by Mike Gayle

This is a sweet, but not (too) saccharine, novel about the importance of relationships, human connection, remembrance, and understanding. I liked the main characters and how (most of) the problems they faced seemed realistic.

The concept of this story is quite good. What came out was... less so. 

I think there are good messages somewhere within the book, but as someone who hasn't gone through grief lately, I don't think I was going to relate.
