Oh my goodness. I'm thankful for this cover redesign—it was the push I needed to pick this one up. I wish I did sooner. It was everything I love about magical realism.
With her priorities terribly skewed, Emma has unintentionally missed life passing her by. It all comes to a halt when tragedy arises and she finds herself stuck in a mysterious time loop reliving the day her husband dies. No matter what she does, the outcome remains the same.
Throughout are anniversary letters written by Dan reflecting on their years together. I absolutely adored his playful humour, honesty, and palpable love for Emma. It's a heartbreaking, poignant story about the importance of savouring precious moments, carving out time for those that matter most. I won't comment on the ending, but I will say ... I sobbed through the final letter on chapter 58.
