Four Weekends and a Funeral by Ellie Palmer
5.0
I absolutely loved this book! The premise is so unique and hooked me right away. Alison attends her ex-boyfriend’s funeral only to discover that he never told his family they broke up six weeks ago. She plays along so as not to cause them any more pain, but then they ask her to help clean out her ex’s apartment with his best friend, who is not interested in Alison being around.
This book handles heavy topics, including grief and breast cancer/BRCA1 gene, with such care, humor, and sweetness along the way. I loved the undeniable chemistry and witty banter between Alison and Adam. Adam celebrated Alison for all of her interests and opinions, even those others have labeled dorky, which is such a simple thing but meant the world to her. The side characters were such an important part of the story, and I especially loved the bond Alison had with her two best friends (and the intensity of the trivia team!).
The audio is narrated by Karissa Vacker, and it was so well done. Her voice was perfect for the character and tone of the book. I loved the balance between deep emotions and laugh-out-loud moments in this book and I highly recommend it!
