"Grief blows your life out of the water. It renders your normal day-to-day existence obsolete. Everything become about the loss you feel, and anything you can do to give yourself some structure against the maelstrom is welcomed.

As Amazon First Reads go, this was quite delightful. The two main characters are completely neurotic and play off one another in the most adorably awkward ways possible, and I found it refreshing to read a book about two people finding solidarity and confidence in each other without a romantic aspect. The writing is clever with fun and witty dialogue, while still keeping an overtone of sincerity and not making light of death and the grieving process. Overall, this was a really enjoyable book from an author I've never read before, and I definitely look forward to reading more of him.
