Thank You to NetGalley for the ARC.

This audiobook was a great listen, Lucy's story is inspiring and emotional to explore, she narrates in a way in which you feel as if she could be sat across the room from you, letting you in on her emotions and struggles.
Her advice about grief and moving forwards after loss is really profound, a lot more than I was originally expecting from this book. I'd reccommend to anyone who may have had an impairment develop that has made them feel lost in this new world that they find themselves in, or those who just need kind words about how to move forwards through unpredictable life.
In the physical print of this book I hope there are pages to write in at reflective points - so that readers can reflect on what has been said and apply that to their own lives.
