And to make things even more complicated, the only person she can turn to is Elissa—Maggie's ex, and the single person who understands how Corinne is feeling.As Corinne struggles to make sense of her grief and what she truly wants out of life, she begins to have feelings for the last person she should fall for. But to move forward after losing Maggie, Corinne will have to learn to be honest with the people in her life...starting with herself.

"One of my favorite books! A story of overcoming grief and coming to terms with who you truly are. It was inspiring to see the characters grow because of their grief and truly connect with one another. Love, heartbreak, loss, this book has it all. It really shows how our issues can pile up on us and wear us down, how our emotions can get the better of us. This is such a great read, and I encourage others to witness Corinne’s story. 10/10 must read. ❤️💔"

"I lost track of how many times I cried, sniffled or got teary eyed while reading this book. It immediately made me feel all the feels & is just so much more then a book about grief. But is also about the fear of the many unknowns & how we figure all of that out along the way. 5/5. The best book I’ve read in a really long time & this might be one of my ultimate faves from here on out. Am absolutely looking forward to reading Nita’s other works. Man, I’m never going to stop thinking about this book."

"This book missed the mark for me in terms of execution. <br/><br/>I see the value of telling a story of grief, loss and love from a dual perspective: before and after. But when the main character is miserable in the “before” and the “after” the weight of the loss is diminished. <br/><br/>I love queer romance and I always find a kind of catharsis from stories about grief… but this was just not it for me."
