TW: Parental death
Four friends met in the cafeteria while their parents received chemotherapy. Now, after after the last funeral, three band together to try to help the youngest of their group grieve in her own way.
Along the way, dogs are adopted and new romantic relationship is formed with a parent of a new student.
Review:
I really wanted to love this book. It had everything I thought I needed right now: a book set in Anchorage, Alaska, a group of friends coming together to help one another and a cute romance. It was a quick read that I enjoyed sitting down with.
I liked that plot points with the friends helping each other grieve and helping Bridget with her animal shelter dog adoption event.
However, I did not enjoy that the author used Bridget as a plot device to screw up the relationship between Trent and Amy. I also didn't like that the end of the book seemed hastily thrown together.
I would be interested in reading the second book if this becomes a series to see where the characters go.
