Kat Richardson isnt running away from grief; shes just hiding out in a gloomy Welsh university town until shes sure its gone. Now, one year, nine months, and 27 days after the climbing death of her first love, Gabe, she thinks shes ready to venture out into the relationship world again. And Owena cake-baking, Super Ball-making chemistry studentappears to be a kind, funny, and very attractive option. But the arrival of Kats newly adopted niece, Mai, forces her home to northern England, where she runs headfirst into all the memories of Gabe shes tried to leave behindand discovers that Mai stirs up an unnerving feeling of dj vu. Before long, Kats logical, scientific beliefs about life after death are in battle with what she feels to be truethat reincarnation is real and Gabe has come back to her through Mai. The question now, is why? Taking on the topics of love, loss, and how we deal with grief, A Strange Companion is a twisted love triangle among the living, the dead, and the reincarnated. Praise for A Strange Companion Beautiful, funny, and feisty, this extraordinary novel offers the soul satisfying message that loveno matter the kindnever ever dies. ~ Tracey Cleantis, author of An Invitation to Self-Care and The Next Happy An engaging and thought-provoking novel about loss and the possibility of reincarnation. ~ Jaq Hazell, author of My Life as a Bench A story about love and loss and learning to live again. Reminiscent of The Art of Racing in the Rain. ~ Julie Mayerson Brown, author of The Long Dance Home Highly recommended for fans of paranormal fiction. A must-read for anyone dealing with the grief that follows a great loss. ~ Rebecca Laclair, author of Radio Head

It was ok, I enjoyed opening the gifts along with the Once Upon a Book Club package although none of the gifts were really that good. The main character was a bit melodramatic for me and I think I would have preferred the book to go totally in to the paranormal.

Next up, I read some reviews that people didn‘t really like the book but I got it last year for my sister in a Once Upon a Book Club box and she passed it on to me. I just love opening those little gifts in the box! Has anyone else tried Once Upon a Book Club?

All of a sudden I have a very upset stomach. I think it's because my daughter received her first financial aid packet yesterday & the reality that I have no clue how I'm going to pay for her education is setting in! I decided to stay home from my knitting group tonight, wrap myself in a blanket, and read.

Change in plans. Our Christmas gifts have been out in the Hamptons for the past month. Hubs drive out and got them after work today & I decided I want to read this book and see what the little gifties are before reading my book club book. The first gift is on page 11 & I can‘t wait to see what it is! (Being watched over by my fatty catty Cola.)

This was the June Once Upon a Book Club pick & I really didn't care for it. The quality of the books chosen & the gifts has declined IMO. I'm unsubscribing. Let me know what you think.

Once Upon a Book Club. A unique book reading experience I love. You open each package as you get to the page marked on the package. #onceuponabookclubbox

BriKie That's an awesome concept. How much is it and how often? 8y
suzanne.literarylife @BriKie It's $35 per month I believe or a bit less if you do a multi-month plan which I do. 8y
