I’m a fan of the authors books and always appreciate the fresh and unique ideas she comes up with. Harper and Ben are newlyweds when he gets diagnosed with terminal cancer so lots of trigger warning from the start. Ben wants Harper to start finding a new partner before he dies so he knows that she will be happy upon his death. So some heavy stuff, not gonna lie it took me a little bit to get settled in because it was so sad but I did end up getting really invested in the story. There is some magical realism that brought some whimsy and light to the tragic story. At its core this is a highly emotional read that explores deep love and deep loss but in the end there is still hope. So many parts of this were beautiful and heartwarming but also heartbreaking, this gives you a lot to think about and would make for a great book club discussion.
