A warm, funny, intelligent novel. It’s ultimately not about how romantic love can save you, but rather how finding new hope and purpose in family can give you what you need to pull yourself from grief. Esther Campion has woven a poignant story… about that journey everyone takes to find their own beloved place in the wide wide world * Better Reading *
