This book was wonderful. As the mother of a child who passed too soon, I kept this book tucked away in my TBR. I am glad that I picked it. It was witty, tearful and oh so true. It is a truthful account of the grieving process, although certainly not everyone goes through what this young widow did, but still it makes you feel that it is ok to act outside of normal when processing such feelings. anyone who has lost someone too soon should seriously consider this story when you are ready (or maybe even when you think you aren't) I highly recommend it.

This book was stunning. It is a wonderful portrait of grief and just the processes that we go through as we grieve. I give Lolly Winston a lot of credit for helping me get through the death of my daughter. The characters felt like real people and little moments just totally made me laugh again. Grief is universal and as steeped in my pain as I was this book reminded me of that. It was nice to just hear about other people struggling and doing crazy silly stuff or just not knowing what they were doing or were going to be doing. A very brave work.

an easy read with likable characters. if you enjoyed Marisa de los Santos "Love Walked In" I think you will like this book. Writing style seemed very similar.

Did not enjoy this book at all. Usually I try to finish a book even if it has a slow start, but I just could not finish this one. Too depressing.

This book is beautifully written. I found the beginning a little manic, however I kept reading and I am glad that I did. The characters are likable and charming. This is an excellent book club book. My mother and I both read the book and had 2 different takes on it.
