This was such an emotional story, it was sometimes hard to read but very worth it. Early in the book, the title character's fiancé is killed. Much of the book addresses how she processes her grief and how her family and friends stand by her. She very slowly begins to see how others are moving on with their lives and she's still idealizing her lost relationship. The ending was predictable in a good way, but I found myself thinking it was too abrupt, though it's hard to say how the story should have continued from there.
