A devastating story of grief and the nonlinear path to healing & reclaiming joy. Messy, very messy, but underneath the chaos, a love story of the purest kind where two souls cry out for each other.

I really enjoyed the descriptions of the food. I didn’t love the age-gap romance element to it and it was quite a big part of the plot. The discussions of grief are poignant, but I just got hung up on the romance element of the book that just was not for me.
