Thank you to Amanda Prowse, Netgalley and Brilliance Audio for the opportunity to listen to this ALC. I have only previously read one other Amanda Prowse book and I think what strikes me again here as did there, is her ability to really capture grief and how it isn't one size fits all but also that it's not fleeting. It sticks with you and shapes who you become down the road. This book combined themes of grief from death, grief from broken relationships, and grief from a sense of self in such a deep way. I also am repeatedly blown away by Prowse's ability to narrate so impeccably in addition to writing such beautiful stories. This was a non-traditional romance where the happily ever afters are much shaped by circumstance. Ultimately, I really loved this one.
