A lovely read.
I wasn't sure that I wanted to read this book about how Grace and Henry who are about to buy their own house together are tragically separated when Henry dies in a fatal traffic accident.
How Grace deals with her loss was reminiscent of a book written by her fellow Irish writer, Cecelia Ahern.
This book had a lovely mixture of wit and sadness - I loved the repartee between Grace and the 3 wise men at the cemetery and also in her flashbacks to her life with Henry.
There are some lovely characters in this book including Grace's girlfriend Aoifre, her boss, Dermot, and her neighbour, Betty.
The ending was not as I had predicted but I still enjoyed it nevertheless.
