Four strangers, one grief group, and a plot twist that will knock you off your feet—this book has it all.
The four strangers couldn’t be more different, and they reluctantly come together for a new kind of grief therapy. None of them are exactly thrilled to be there.
We’ve got a sharp-tongued lawyer with walls higher than skyscrapers, a young woman desperate to find where she fits, a talented musician teetering on the edge of self-destruction, and an interior designer watching her picture-perfect life unravel.
Just when you think you know where the story is headed—BAM! Plot twist.
Seriously, I did not see it coming, and it had me on the edge of my seat. I loved how well this book captured the different ways people deny their grief, making their emotional journeys feel so real. Plus, the little hints of romance woven throughout were a nice touch.
The ending took a totally unexpected turn!
If you’re into stories about healing, unexpected friendships with a side of romance, and a plot twist you can’t predict, you’ll definitely want to pick this one up!
Thank you NetGalley and Berkley for this gifted ARC.
This one is different! That's about the highest praise I can give a novel, because I read so much I keep seeing plots similar to other novels I've already read. The story is told from five different viewpoints with a character name at the head of each chapter. Four people, who seem to have nothing in common, meet once a week for a grief counseling session with a skillful young psychologist. At the first session she is able to get each person to tell a little of their own story. Every week, as they go around the circle, they share more. As they listen to each others heartbreak, they grow closer, becoming friends and then more than friends. There are twists and surprises that caught me by surprise and I kept reading late into the night. Very well written with a satisfying ending.
Really liked this book! I had a bit of trouble getting into the story, but from 30-40% of the book it really started to interest me. I loved how the authors divided the book, it was really interesting to move from one character to another. Amelia Ireland a new author you should follow closely!
A very poignant and stirring story. A small group of Brits gather tog ether for a forced weekly therapy session. Little do they know, this experimental therapy can give them choices they never dreamed possible. In the first third of the book we meet the group; Freya, Callum, Mischa, and Victoria. All are in denial of their loss and all resent having the meetings (Tuesdays at 7).
It's not until the book is 2/3rds over before something incredible happens. You have to read to find out what!
