The Lost Husband by Katherine Center

3.0

I am officially a Katherine Center fan. :) I've read two of her most recent books and then found out that they were making a movie from this backlist title of hers! I went online to the library and was able to borrow the ebook to read before watching the movie, which is being released to video streaming during this time of Covid-19. I liked this story a lot. There were some predictable parts, but there was enough left unknown that it kept my attention. The story deals with grief in different forms - relationships, family, death, loss, lifestyle, parenting - and does it in a way that makes the reader think about things without taking you out of the story. The author nails it about losing someone in that it is unbelievably hard and horrible, but that over time you realize that the loss just becomes part of your story, and doesn't compete with what happens to you after the loss. It makes you stronger in a way. Great book, looking forward to streaming the movie!
