The Widow's Guide to Dead Bastards by Jessica Waite

4.0

challenging emotional funny reflective

---

This book follows the author's difficulty with grieving after she discoveries secrets about her husband after his death, from infidelity to substance use to undisclosed debts. The author details the cognitive dissonance of her feelings for her husband and her newfound knowledge. Overall it was very well-written, easy to follow and really engaging. My only difficulty with this book was the last few chapters seemed a bit disjointed from the rest of the narrative, as we move further from his passing, the story doesn't connect as well as it did for the majority of the book.

Disclosure: I received a free print copy of this book from the publisher. No review was required and all opinions are my own.
