Josh and Lauren had it all until Lauren was diagnosed with a rare terminal respiratory condition just after they got married. She managed to hang on for three years before dying, leaving Josh in depths of grief that he couldn't imagine. However, since she lost her beloved father when she was in college, Lauren was able to imagine what Josh might go through after her death. So she wrote him a series of letters to be given to him monthly for the first year after she died. Each letter has a task, some of which are a little questionable, but Lauren's sure that each will help Josh work through his grief.
If you're looking for a good cry, this book will deliver. There were some things that I found a bit dubious about Lauren's letters, but dang it, I had tears streaming down my face for a good half of the book. So if you want to cry, grab a box of tissues and this book. If you'd rather not burst into tears every five pages, well, best avoid this one.
