Genevieve is a counselor who has taken on a group of four grieving people: Victoria, a middle-aged hotshot lawyer; Callum, a rock star with a drug problem; Mischa, a young working woman in her late teens; and Freya, a 31-year-old woman who used to work in interior design.
None of these people were looking for Genevieve, but they (or someone they knew) aimed them towards her advertisement indicating that she was looking for people to participate in a new process for navigating the grief process, a process that uses a group setting rather than a one-on-one setting to move the clients forward.
The point-of-view changes to a different character each chapter. Larger sections are titled with stages of grief: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, etc. At first, most of the characters do not really want to attend these sessions, but they return anyway, and as they get to know each others' stories, they bond.
If this were the whole point of the book, it's already good. However, the story takes a few very unexpected turns that I don't want to spoil. I had to see what happened.
