With Winstons trademark humor and sweetness that will appeal to readers of Jennifer Weiner and Fredrik Backman but is uniquely her own Lolly Winston delivers a heartfelt and realistic portrait of loss and grief hope and forgiveness and two imperfect people coming together to create a perfect love story.
