This book was an up and down read. A read that was very real, and hard to look at with some of the issues it addresses, but it has its happy moments to. This book is very real. You can see the emotions, feel them, think that it could happen to you. A very good read, a fast read despite the feelings it evokes. Because you want to flip to the next page and see what happens next. I really did over all enjoy this book.I think its probably the best one I have read so far this year. Emotional, Funny, Sad, but most of all a heart warming tale of life. And how to live after loss.

A wondeful first novel...funny, touching, poignant. A look at how one woman deals with her grief following the death of her husband. Fantastic!

Even though it's a depressing subject - a woman's grief after the death of her husband - it's a very funny book with a lovable heroine. I loved all the comments about having curly hair!

I did not care for this book, I have no experience with death of a husband but I did read it with an open mind and still didn't care for it.

A surprisingly funny yet touching first novel about a 36-year-old widow who struggles to cope with the death of her husband.

There are thousands of books about looking for love, but not many about living through tradegy. This witty, big-hearted novel about a smart, funny young woman rebuilding her life and re-creating a family after her husband's untimely death fills that gap beautifully. (Jennifer Weiner)

I really like this book. It had more depth to it then the usual chick lit books I read. I liked how each chapter was a different emotion in the grieving process. The author really draws you in and makes you feel each emotion. I'm looking forward to reading more Lolly Winston books.
