"Holly and Gerry are the kind of perfectly married couple that others envy. Then, at the age of 30, Gerry is diagnosed with a terrible illness. Months after Gerry's death, Holly receives a package of letters that he's left for her, instructing her to perform a series of unexpected tasks. With the help of the letters - and her fun, quick-witted girlfriends and a raucously endearing family that smothers, loves, and drives her crazy - Holly wobbles, weaves and jokes her way toward a new life, even larger than the one that she's been forced to leave behind."

I kept hearing about this book and just had to read it. I really enjoyed the story and found the characters very believable - I was wishing for a slightly different ending but I think the ending in the book is more realistic than the one I was hoping for - and that's good.

RELEASE NOTES:

Gave this book to a friend today - I'm hoping she will make a journal entry or that she will pass the book on again to someone who will.
