5 stars!
This is a must read for anyone looking for the healing power of an emotional book. Cara Bastone knows how to write about a sad topic while instilling hope and making you laugh.
Grief after death is the primary focus of Promise Me Sunshine. It is written with such care and honesty that you feel like you know the characters personally.
Lenny is quietly grieving the loss of her best friend. She’s functional but not okay. Miles allows her to feel all of her deep emotions while seeing the true person who is hiding inside. He understands grief personally. Their relationship is mutually beneficial as they both navigate difficult life changes. It’s a truly wonderful book about relationships and love. Grab the tissues and prepare to giggle - you will easily laugh and cry while reading the same page! And the cute call out to Ready or Not was a nice surprise!
Thank you NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
