Cara Bastone wrote this sweet book about grief and loss that is honest and raw. I think anyone that’s experienced life-altering loss (specially in their 20s) will resonate with this one.
I enjoyed that the romance takes a backseat and is almost used as a plot device. It allowed for the story to feel genuine and focused on how main character Lenny will handle all-consuming grief.
The proses were lovely and the overall message profound. I wish I could time travel and give myself this book in 2021.
Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group, for an eArc in exchange for an honest review.
