The Dead Wife's Handbook by Hannah Beckerman
3.0
Probably should start with a disclaimer, I do not have children and I'm quite annoyed with the general feeling currently in society that you are not a family unless you have children. I would think this does effect my opinion on the book.
Book is well written and emotive. But for large parts of the book I felt this was more of knowing what to write/how to direct the plot/what situations to include to pull at the heartstrings rather than being truly genuine. Also the storyline felt too easy, one big argument or dramatic obstacle to overcome would have made it more realistic for me.
But I might just be a grumpy old maid .... !
