The Optimist's Guide to Letting Go by Amy E. Reichert

5.0

This is my first book by Amy Reichert but it won't be my last.. I loved all three characters that narrated and the food descriptions were perfect. The food helped the book flow well and was a natural part of the lives of the characters. All three characters grew and changed throughout the book, I loved the relationship of May and her mother Regina (Gina) as well as how Gina and her mother's relationship evolved. Family dynamics were unique but very relatable at times. This was a fun and enjoyable read although the topics were tough (grief, long term recovery), it was written in a positive way. I can't wait to read past and future books by this author! Thank you to NetGalley and Gallery Books for the opportunity to read this great book!
