This one was a miss for me. Liked the child characters and not much else - the pacing seemed really off.
I should have known this was going to be a heavier novel by the synopsis, but I was still surprised by how much it hit me. The complexity of emotions Kate experiences throughout the book is so well written. I loved the depth and intention put into it. I consider this a novel about a woman who experiences a great loss and learns to become whole again. Really well done by the author (and the acknowledgements make it all the more poignant).
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Really liked this contemporary romance. There were a couple of plot points that made me go “hmmm“ at first and then it turned out they really added to the story.
The story follows Carol who is struggling with the aftermath of a traumatic event that has left her grappling with grief and the profound emptiness it brings. When Carol‘s ex-husband shows up at her office with yet another trauma to add to her plate, they escape on a journey of the past and healing of old traumas. The level of love and forgiveness throughout these pages is heart wrenching. The storyline is unique and the character growth is strong
This thoughtful, erudite memoir has two parts: the grief she felt in losing her beloved father, and falling in love with her future wife. Schultz shares vulnerable, personal moments from both experiences, but then goes a step further to explore the more universal vicissitudes of love and grief. A bit academic even, but so insightful. Since these two experiences overlapped, she discusses finding a greater appreciation in the dualities of life.
Abbi Waxman has been one of my favourite authors since I picked up the Bookish Life of Nina Hill. Going back to her early work has been on my list for years and I am so happy I finally got to this one. It‘s just lovely - sweet and funny and a little irreverent… It‘s everything I want and more.
