6 posts | 3 read | 1 reading | 9 to read
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Descendantsa funny, insightful, and unsentimental (People, 4 stars) novel about a grieving mother and the shocking surprise that may help her reclaim her hold on life. In the idyllic ski town of Breckenridge, Colorado, Sarah St. John is reeling. Three months ago, her twenty-two-year-old son, Cully, died in an avalanche. Sarahs father, a retiree, tries to distract her from her grief with gadgets from the home shopping channel. Sarahs best friend offers life advice by venting details of her own messy divorce. Even Cullys father reemerges, stirring more emotions and confusion than Sarah needs. But Sarah feels she is facing the stages of griefthe anger, the sadness, the letting goalone; she desperately wants to hear the swoosh of her sons ski pants, or watch him skateboard past her window. And one day a strange girl arrives on her doorstep. Unexpected and unexplained, she bears a secret from Cully that could change all of their lives forever. With wry wit and intuition, Kaui Hart Hemmings highlights the subtle poignancies of grief and relationships in this stunning look at people faced with impossible choices. Called surprisingly entertaining (The New York Times Book Review) and familiar yet richly, astutely observant and reflective (The Boston Globe), The Possibilities brilliantly portrays tragic ineffability with grace and hope.

This was one of a few eBooks I‘ve had for years that I finally read this weekend. I loved The Descendants and this one follows a similar vein - a family coping with loss and struggling to find how they fit together minus one part. The grandpa adds a nice touch of inappropriate humor to lighten it up at times. #MtTBR #192019

Mehso-so

I found this one kind of meh. Not horrible but not one that truly grabbed me either. #LitsyAtoZ
