Ben and Elsie get married after a short few months of dating. They are married for 10 days before Ben gets hit by a car while riding his bike at night and is killed instantly. Elsie then is thrust into grief and feeling unsure of how she should grieve someone she was married to and knew for such a short time. All in all it was a great depiction of the ups and downs of the grieving process and I like that she connects with his mom through each of their journeys in grief. I did find Elsie annoying and bratty at times. I get that she was grieving but it was hard to like her at all.
