This book is such a beautiful depiction of growing around grief and finding your way back to yourself. It is equal parts funny, heartwarming and witty, with deeply likable characters and a fun plot. Patrick is the guncle we all wish we had, even when it takes him awhile to realize it. I really loved this and am so glad I waited to read it until I needed a book like it, because I felt it so much more.
