FOUR WEEKENDS AND A FUNERAL
Ellie Palmer

Thank you @bookedwiththeemilys, GP Putnam, and Ellie Palmer for the #gifted review copy.

I absolutely loved this book!! I was smiling, teared up, and laughed while reading, (which says a lot for a book that handles both death and cancer.) Ellie Palmer handled the tough topic of BRCA1 and the worry that comes with being a child of a breast cancer survivor (or victim) with a gentle hand. Alison’s thoughts and emotions were beautifully written. The grief that Adam felt for the loss of a friend that was once so important in his life but had drifted apart was so real. 

Along with that, the romcom element is perfection. It had the feels of the very best classic romcom movies.  Alison’s situation was hysterical and Adam was the perfect dead pan partner. 

I would read ten more books with these two!! Don’t miss this one! (And it is a BOTM add on this month so go grab it!)
