A beautiful story of love and life after loss, and the journey through grief. 

The pain in this story is so palpable the entire way through, at times you almost feel like you are lost in the haze of grief along with Eric. His story is so heart wrenching and I found myself in tears multiple times throughout the book. While I was left with some questions at the end, the emotion put into this book is so clearly felt and I would absolutely recommend to anyone familiar with grief and loss (but make sure you have a box of tissues nearby)
