Blurb
One year ago, I buried my husband.
One year ago, I held his hand and said goodbye.
Now I spend most of my days lost somewhere between trying to remember every smallest detail of our lives, and trying to forget it all. I fill my hours with work until I’m too exhausted to remember him, to feel anything at all.
One year, 365 days—and then one knock at my door changes everything. A letter from him, a last request, a secret will:
My dearest Nadia,
Trust me, my love. One last time, trust me. Sometimes the epilogue to one story is the beginning of another.
Review
5 heartwrenching stars
OMG, this book! This book wrecked me! It’s a heartbreaking, devastating story of loss, but also a beautiful, emotional and realistic story of healing and second chances. My heart ached and I sobbed like a damn baby, but it was worth it for the two beautiful love stories that I got to experience. What a read, I loved it!
Nadia and Adrian are married, soulmates and blissfully in love. Their whole lives are each other, they know it may be over the top, but they just don’t care. They are it for each other, and they revel in the happiness of their life together.
“I promise, Adrian. Always, forever, no matter what. Anything, everything, always.”
But then Adrian gets sick. While fighting hard, he’s also making plans for Nadia after he is gone – making sure she’s set up, and trying to ensure that she moves on and doesn’t drown in her grief like he knows she will want to. And while he’s doing that, he’s giving her the most amazing final months he possibly can.
The love between Nadia and Adrian is absolutely beautiful. We get to explore it from both of their perspectives as Adrian does what he can for his wife, and Nadia cherishes her man as she has always done. I love these characters, I love them together, and I love their easy, intimate, passionate relationship. We get to see their happiness and their final months, and those final moments, and I broke.
“I love you more than fucking life itself, Nadia. Never forget that. Wherever…wherever I’m going, I’ll love you there too.”
God, just reading that quote has me tearing up again! And when I say I cried while reading this book, I didn’t just sit there with a few tears rolling down my face, I sobbed out loud, I couldn’t breathe, my face was a wet mess and my heart absolutely ached. But then, a year later, Nadia receives a letter from Adrian. He’s left her a cabin in the woods, and after a year of her struggling to keep going, he’s made plans to help her move on and live again.
I’m not okay.
But for the first time since he died, I feel like maybe, someday, I could be.
That’s only the first part of the story, the second part follows Nadia’s journey as she does just what her husband wanted – takes time for herself, works through her grief and tries to live again. She knows she’ll never get over the man she lost, and she knows she’ll love him until the day she dies, but somebody is waiting to help realise that maybe she can have more than that.
“Why do you even like me? I must be miserable company.”
A gentle laugh, a shake and a huff. “Because I’m just as miserable company. We get each other. We don’t have to pretend.”
Yes! It’s another romance! A beautiful friends-to-lovers set-up that is gentle, sweet and super emotional, but it’s absolutely perfect for both of them, and absolutely stole my heart.
“Nadia?”
“I can’t.”
“Can you let me in, Nadia?”
“I can’t do this with you…”
“I can’t not do this.”
These two have both been through so much, and they’ve been left damaged, but their coming together is just beautiful. The emotions are realistic, and I could absolutely understand everything they were both going through as they pushed through their fears to explore everything unfolding between them.
“It’s okay to be scared.”
“Are you?”
“Hell yeah.” He rests his forehead on mine. “I’ve got you, Nadia.”
It’s slow moving, and a beautiful story of healing, taking chances and experiencing love after loss. It’s beautifully written in a way that never disrespects the relationship that Nadia had with Adrian, her time with him is cherished and so, so special. But at the same time, I loved the new man in her life and the relationship they have together is perfect for them and just what they need.
“I thought maybe I was…broken. Like I’d been wrecked beyond repair.” He’s breathing hard. “And then I met you, and…and you fixed me. One day at a time.”
The book ends with an epilogue which finishes the story off beautifully, and I finished it with a huge smile on my face, and hugging my kindle, revelling in the gorgeously happy ending.
A beautiful story with all the feels, and written with so much heart, I just adored it.
5 stars.
