I was not expecting this book to be this heavy. I was pleasantly surprised & I think this has earned its spot on my favorites of the year list. Connie showed how ugly grief can get. Sometimes we look at people & judge them based on who they are at the present time when in reality we don’t know how they got to where they are. This book shows that all it takes is one tragedy to turn a persons life upside down. This book does contain romance & every one deserves a persistent & patient man like Hassan.
