This was so fun and charming - it was exactly what I was looking for in a comfort read for the gray winter days.
I loved it! I had this book sitting on my TBR list for ages and finally picked it up because a bookclub was about to read it. I didn't make the deadline or the bookclub meeting, but I still felt it was worth reading.
There were so many funny lines in it. I found myself laughing out loud so many times. I don't mean to say that it was a fluffy comedic book, because it did have a lot of touching moments in it.
I loved it and would recommend it highly.

This book was a total fun & enjoyable read from the first chapter throughout. The story though told to us in a witty & humorous manner does ultimately teach us how to deal with loss of a loved one grief, unexpected situations & second chances. The book just feels like a warm hug, though Patrick O’ Hara’s is just a fictional character, I feel there is so much one can learn about life from him.
In my opinion, I don’t think such books need much of a review coz it’s impeccably and beautifully written, each character is so beautifully portrayed, that you will want to be a part of their lives. The book is also very thought provoking & does make you stop & reflect from a moment.
Overall, I’m glad I finally read it & loved it. Highly recommended if you are looking for a feel good, fun, humorous book.
