This book, while a romance, is so much more about the love of friends and family and how grief can make you a stranger to yourself. Lenny is a wonderful character to follow back to her sense of self, and Miles embodies true partnership. The friends and family in the book aren’t afterthoughts either. They’re integral to the feelings and resilience of the main couple. Love!
