”Lenny, when I look at your face, I feel like I’m finally home after a really long day at work�



OMG this book was so adorable, I could not get enough. I loved every single bit of this story. This book took my heart and then broke it some many times. The grief aspect is done so beautifully that it broke me so many times. This is such a beautiful written story about heartbreak of grief and slowing opening yourself back up and learning how to live your life again without falling into grief.

The friendship that blossomed between Lenny and Miles as they slowly work their way through Lenny list was done so beautifully. They both helped each other through their own grief. The slow burn between them was keeping me on my toes that it got to the point where I was begging them to kiss.

Lenny grief is honestly done beautifully. It showed that it doesn’t matter how much fun you have, grief will hit at the most random times and that it’s okay. I loved how she wanted to prove to herself that she can live and do things by herself. I related to her so many times that I just need to give her a hug.

The things that Miles had done for his niece had me begging for a video clip of him dancing with her. Like please I need to see that video I beg.



Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this arc in exchange for an honest review.
