Eve's husband is the great love of her life despite their differences. That's why it's a tough pill to swallow when Eve realizes he's secretly unhappy and even harder to reconcile when Eve finds his body on New Year's Eve. Reeling from the death of her husband's suicide, Eve must find the strength to overcome the insurmountable grief.

SOMEDAY, MAYBE is a poignant exploration of grief and loss, particularly in the aftermath of suicide. Nwabineli writes with a raw and realistic voice, capturing the nuances of grief that are often overlooked or dismissed. As someone who has never experienced the loss of a loved one to suicide (and I hope I'll never have to), it was difficult to fully grasp the depth of Eve's pain. However, Nwabineli's writing is so vivid it brought me closer to the reality of Eve's experience.

SOMEDAY, MAYBE delves into the theme of our blindspots when death is involved. Eve struggles to reconcile that her husband's suicide isn't just a personal tragedy, but also a betrayal of those who loved him. I felt the weight of Eve's pain and the difficulty of navigating such complex emotions. Nwabineli's portrayal of loss is so visceral it pierces the heart and brings to life the harsh reality of losing someone so close.

I do wish that therapy played a more prominent role in the story. While there are some discussions of seeking treatment at one point, it isn't explored in depth. Given the impact that therapy can have on the grieving process, I feel that it would've been valuable to have a more detailed exploration of this aspect.

SOMEDAY, MAYBE is a powerful exploration of loss and finding our way back to life. Nwabineli's writing is raw and honest; this book is a reminder of the importance of empathy in the face of tragedy and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
