I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you NetGalley and Putnam Books.
I loved the concept of this book!! The idea of making sure your loved ones know they are cherished and celebrated before they have passed on is truly heartwarming. I love Steven Rowley’s writing, but this one didn’t quite hit the mark for me. I had trouble connecting with the characters and the extremely long chapters were a challenge for me too. Regardless, I will read anything Steven writes, and I look forward to his next novel.
