Lost and Wanted by Nell Freudenberger
3.0
Thank you to NetGalley and Knopf for the advanced copy.
This is a tough book to review. I liked it while I was reading it, and kept looking for opportunities to get back to it, but at about 3/4 of the way through, I realized nothing that I was hoping was going to happen, was going to happen. And then something did finally happen and it just fell flat for me. I think I was attracted to this book about a woman whose best friend dies because I just lost my beloved doggy, and I was hoping for some profound thoughts on loss or proof of life after death, or something that would help me get through my grief. But I didn't really get what I was looking for.
