I wanted a book that made me feel. I didn’t realize I was picking up a book that would make me feel this big of feelings. Words don’t do the thoughts I have justice. It’s so beautifully written and captures grief in such a pure way. The greatest thing I appreciate is the vast majority of the book focuses on grief in the years past the initial tragedy. It isn’t just a widow turned lover in no time, but a grieving widow who finds herself and her own identity outside of her deceased husband. So unbelievably perfect.
