Bittersweet is such an appropriate title for this book! Lottie’s journey with Ben and his diagnosis is very emotional and I couldn’t stop listening. Read by the author is even better because it adds so much listening to her tell her own story. So glad I had the chance to listen to this ARC.

Thank you to NetGalley and publishers for this audio arc. All opinions are my own.

Grief is a tricky thing. Everyone's experience is deeply personal from the immediate impact to long term coping with the loss. Having been recently diagnosed with Prolonged Grief Disorder, I applaud Lotte for putting her story out there. I don't feel like this is a book to pick apart as it is her personal journey. I enjoy reading books on grief because 1) it helps me realize these feelings I have are universal 2) potentially learning some new coping skills and 3) it helps me to be hopefully that I will eventually come out of this fog.

While I don't necessarily think there was anything profound in this work that I will take away, I did very much relate to most of the author's feelings.

As far as the audio, Lotte's voice is beautiful for audio. Love her cadence. Very soothing to listen to.
