The Young Widower's Handbook by Tom McAllister
4.0
ARC provided by Algonquin Books and NetGalley
I didn't expect a book about a young man who has unexpectedly lost his wife to make me laugh as much as this did. While there are definitely moments where you are just aching for his loss, there are humorous encounters and revelations along his grief-driven road trip.
There were definitely some parts of the story left unfinished but for the most part it felt natural to not have everything tied off with a neat little bow.
