A delightful way to end the year ! This book has the particularity to start in March, and end on NYE of the same year. We follow a family during the 10 months after a tragedy, through the eyes of Beth, a 30 years old with no prospects and no sense of responsibilities. The sudden change in their lives forces her to grow up and finally find herself. It's a coming of age story in a sense.
I loved it, I thought it was realistic, funny and lovely. It was obviously very sad too and you have to be prepared for it. However, it's definitely a glass half full kind of book so it is not as sad as it could be.
The story does not revolve around romance but more about different forms of love that can co-exist and that we are only really ready to receive when we love ourselves.

This was so sweet 😭 very sad in places but hopeful too. And a lovely story about families and found family. Would have loved a smidge more romance.

I loved it. Despite the initially hard subject, the book is full of hope.

I'd love a sequel to find out what happens to Beth next. I'd also like to see what happens with Albert!
