‘A death in the family rarely brings out the best in people - even the deceased Jonathan Coulter planned for his death meticulously, leaving nothing to chance. His will states that his three adult children must decide between them how to dispose of his estate. If they cannot come together over their inheritance, then they risk losing it. But Liv, Noah and Chloe never agree on anything. And now, with only one weekend to overcome their rivalry, tensions begin to rise. Why has Jonathan left the decision to them? And why has he made no mention of his new partner, Megan, or the children's mother, Eloise? If he wanted to teach them a lesson from beyond the grave, what is it? And can the siblings put their differences aside for long enough to learn it? A powerful novel about love and loss, and what we truly pass on to our children.’
I was so excited to read this book when I read the synopsis, as my family are actually going through a similar situation (someone dying and members of the family deciding who gets what). The story was extremely entertaining along with some shocks along the way. Grief is a very interesting subject as everyone copes with it through different ways and I really liked how Caroline Bond portrayed that through each of the family members.
The way the story was written was beautiful. As the book goes on the author gives you more and more information about each of the characters which makes you want to carry on reading and finding out more.
This is an extremely emotional book and it really makes you think and act differently. Everyone at one point in their life have experienced a form of death and loss, but within the last year that feeling and experience has been heightened.
I really did enjoy this book and if it sounds like something you would like then I would defiantly recommend. At times I did find it hard to get into but I think this was more to do with me rather than the book.
