The set up felt a little clunky, but once I was in, I was hooked. I look forward to revisiting this book as my grief for my Dad evolves.

This was so sappy and I really enjoy it. However the middle part almost made me dnf it if not for the fact that I was Buddy reading it.

(Don’t worry, those all make sense.)

An Ode to Death, quite simply. Sure, this is labeled a romance, but this was far more a free therapy session on the beauty of life and hope beyond it. Made my heart sing,  made me feel so full, and made me feel that much more healed. Ashley Poston did it again. I can easily see myself rereading this in the future to cope with a loss! (Forewarning: one scene is unnecessarily sexual but easily skipped.)
β€œFor what is grief, but love persevering?”
