@rachvd wrote the perfect combination of grief and humor in this book. I love books that make you almost cry over loss  in one scene and then make you cry because you're laughing so hard in another scene. I also love books that make you feel emotionally connected. Loss is a very hard topic and I thought it was very well done.

It was hilarious watching Rip and Colby learn how to take care of two kids full time. Some of the incidents in the book were so true to life I couldn't help but laugh. I especially loved their banter since they really did hate each other and we're suddenly living together.

And the side character, Banks, definitely kept me laughing too. His coffee mug sayings even made my husband laugh. 

I really loved the character growth in this book. Both Rip and Colby grow so much as they go through immense life changes. I love the emphasis on compromise in the story. I also loved how much they loved the kids. 

This was my first book by this author but I'll definitely read more!

I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley and @readforeverpub . This is my honest review.
