This book really dives head first into examining grief, and what it means to move on when you've lost the love of your life. Five years after her husband's death, Feyi finally feels ready to try dating again. Throughout the summer, she finds herself in a series of relationships, all different but meaningful in their own way. This book is so honest and heartbreaking, and beautifully written, it will stay with you after you've finished reading.
