Ten Years by Pernille Hughes

4.0

The death of Ally, the girl that was a best friend to one and fiance to another, is the only thing that Becca and Charlie seem to have in common, and they're even reluctant to admit that. But when Ally's post-dead bucket list forces them to see each other on the day of her death every year, they're forced to face who they truly are and who they hope to become as individuals and in their shared experiences.
An excellent example of how grief and grieving are and mean something very different for everyone, this is a masterclass in how to give characters room to grow within the story. I looked forward to seeing what each character had been up to and how their lives and personalities had changed from one year to the next and their clashing and support of each other never disappointed me. Seeing these two very different people who saw each other for their true selves beyond the image they showed the world interact in their darkest times and grow with each interaction made for wonderfully sentimental reading.

Very happy thanks to HarperCollins UK and One More Chapter for the phenomenally emotional read!
