*I received this book from NetGalley in return for a honest review*
This is a book about grief. It is a book about love. It is a book about picking yourself back up and finding hope in those that have left you. And this book is beautiful.
Joshua Park is newly widowed. Not where he thought he would be in life at 30, not sure what to do about anything, and then he gets a letter from his dead wife. The first of 12, one for every month of the first year that she is gone and each one containing a task for him to do. Throughout this year we follow Josh as he navigates loss, moving forward, and making more memories without Lauren.
We also see back in Lauren's life as she navigates her illness, writing to her own dead father as she lives life without him.
This book was beautiful and lovely and made me cry. Stories of young widowed couples are not everywhere and this one is a great story that stands out from many others. It took me on a journey outside of myself and I felt like I was living a year with Joshua Park.
