This book follows the story of three people who recently lost a loved one. We have Chuck who lost the love of his life, Kirsten whose father was murdered and Ella who is looking for her daughter.
I think I was the fastest invested in Kirsten's storyline but I very much enjoyed all POV's. I found all characters very likeable and even though the story sounds pretty heavy it didn't feel that way while reading. It left me feeling all warm inside, ending the book with a smile.
I loved that the main characters' paths cross at some point in the story and I also very much enjoyed the slight romantic aspect of the book.
I'm very glad I read this book and I feel like it's one I will go back to at some point. I even think it is a book which could help people who recently lost a loved one, to find beauty and a little happiness in life again, since the story is very beautifully told. I'm sure this won't be my last read by the author!
Thank you to Ethan Joella, Muswell Press and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
