3,75/5

First of all, I would like to thank Netgalley and Avon Books UK for offering me the chance to read Hayley Doyle’s book in exchange for an honest review.

The story follows Chloe who has just found out that her partner of five months has been in a fatal accident. 

We get to experience her grief process throughout the book. Her (their) fridge was full of reminders and upcoming plans they had to look forward to and the premise of the story becomes a sort of bucket list to fulfill in order to find some connection, closure, both?

I enjoyed reading this book despite the sad setting of it all. A solid read for the genre!

Spoilers ahead!

What I disliked, or rather what annoyed me, was the reaction of her surroundings to these recasting news which we do not really understand why they are not supportive in the first place. Especially coming from her best friend, Beth. I could not read that character whatsoever and her own situation did not nearly explain her behaviour towards Chloe.

Also, Chloes mom.... agh... i must admit it was painful to read her responses at times. But at least she was more believable. I feel like I’ve met this kind of person before in constraint to Beths character.

Overall a good read!
