I have had this book
on my list of "books to read"
forever.

I have finally done it.

The book is heartbreaking and real.
Raw and poignant and brutally sharp.
There were many times that I found myself
identifying completely with her reasoning...
how in grief, you bargain, you deny, you pretend.
Or at least, I know that I have done so.

It's a story about loss but it's
also a story of coming back from that...
especially when you don't think you will ever
come out the other side...
of fighting your way through the emptiness.

I am so glad that this one finally made it
to the top of my reading pile.

5 out of 5 ♥♥♥♥♥'s
