started out as a 4star read for me but then gradually turned into a 3.5 mainly because the main protagonists kept going round in circles torturing each other with do they/don‘t they - come on !!!!!………

Bookbuyingaddict As you get older you realise life really is too short and NO ONE is worth waiting for and pining over and wasting your precious time over, so in reality (well no one Iv ever known in my life and I‘m 53) this doesn‘t happen maybe more chance of meeting elves 🧝🏼‍♂️ in real life 😆 (edited) 4d

With a blurb that references One Day and Normal People, this just about lives up to that. A sweet story of perceived “bad boy” Will, studious Rosie, and Rosie‘s twin, Josh, as they finish sixth form and try to find their way. It really is a lovely story - with that ever elusive romance without the cringe factor - yet I‘d say this didn‘t quite reach the heights of Sally Rooney genius for me, I agree more with the One Day vibes.

If the love of your life, your soulmate, were to end their own existence ,how would you go through it? The story unfolds a deep, raw exploration of grief—😢😥😞shifting from quiet sorrow to fiery outrage😡. It's a poignant journey through emotions, though it may not leave you breathless. While it‘s a compelling read, it doesn‘t quite reach the heights of something truly unforgettable.

A friend of the family gave me, my sister, and my mom this book after my dad died a year ago tomorrow. I‘ve been reading a page a day, as it is organized by calendar days. I do think it helped. There were some common themes that resurfaced throughout the year. It at least regularly gave me the space once a day to work through my grief. As the book mentioned, there is no set time for when it will feel better. A year later doesn‘t stop the hurt.

Sweet romance between a widowed, single father hockey player & a woman recovering from the physical & emotional ravages of trying to make it as a professional ballet dancer. It dealt with some heavy topics while being both realistic & positive about them. I loved that the hero was explicit about coming to understand the burden of the family‘s emotional labour that his wife had borne for him. While sex happens & is talked about it‘s not graphic.

LeahBergen I saw the cover of this book a couple of weeks ago and thought of you. 😆 1mo
