I was expecting 'more' on the dreams and other side aspect of this book... It's very much a memoir of losing one's dad and the grief of this loss, of loss itself, with some sprinkling of dreams that tie it together somewhat... But I went in expecting to see more exploration of that connection, and it was all a bit rushed and mentioned here and there with no real delving into what it means/might mean and even inspires in the author...
Very good and poignant memoir about loss and grief, but not really the book if you're interested in the dream and other side connection as advertised in the blurb

What an emotional book! I don’t think I’ve cried this much in a long time.

The Synopsis says this is about Love, Grief and Healing and that’s spot on.

This is a journey of Elisa Donovan’s grief of losing her long time job, her boyfriend and her father all in a matter of months. It shows us her struggles, her battle with life and relationships with those around her. It was so emotion packed that I had to stop many times because I was crying so hard.

I loved how open she was with her journey and all the things that she went through. It takes courage and a whole lot of strength to share this kind of heartache with the world.

The dreams and visits from the other side will no doubt bother some people, but those stories filled with me joy. I have no doubt that my own father is right here with me all the time, and that makes me more than happy.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Eliza list her job, ended her relationship and learned that her dad had terminal cancer at the same time. She talked about her relationship with her dad who was her polar opposite in many ways. This book talked about the grief she had over losing her father.

I received an advance copy of, Wake Me When You Leave, by Elisa Donovan. I really thought I would like this book, but I did not. This was more an autobiography then anything else. I did not like this book at all.
