A review by elisability
The Young Widower's Handbook by Tom McAllister

2.0

The first few pages were the most adorable thing I have ever read, and the beginning gave me good hopes for the rest of the book. But the main character's negativity, passivity and pessimism quickly became wearing. I kept waiting for him to have a big eye-opening moment that would make everything worthwhile, but in vain. He just accepted everything that happened to him, and then inwardly complained about how pathetic he was, how sad his life was, how much better his wife was than him, how he didn't deserve her, how he never could do anything right...

If you're looking for an uplifting story, keep looking, because this is definitely not it.
