Wow.. TJR didn’t waste any time. She broke my heart within the first couple of chapters. It was absolutely heart-wrenching and really well written. I especially enjoyed the present and past POVs and seeing how Elsie and Ben’s relationship grew.

I really enjoyed the journey that Elsie went through (even though there were points where I thought she was a selfish brat and wanted to throw the book across the room..) and her relationship development with Bens mum Susan.

The book really emphasised the fact that life is short and precious! And that grief is miserable, unkind and lonely.

I think it would have been good to have dual POVs so we could experience the grief and healing from both Elsie and Susan’s perspectives, but overall it’s a great book and would recommend people give it a read
