They used to joke about it.
Funny, sometimes heart-wrenching, and always uplifting, this novel from New York Times bestselling author Kristan Higgins illuminates how life\'s greatest joys are often hiding in plain sight..
As his grief makes room for new friendships and experiences, Joshua learns Lauren\'s most valuable lesson: The path to happiness doesn\'t follow a straight line.
It\'s a journey that will take Joshua from his first outing as a widower to buy groceries...to an attempt at a dinner party where his lack of experience hosting creates a comic disaster...to finding a new best friend while weeping in the dressing room of a clothing store.
A plan that leads Joshua with a loving hand on a journey through grief, anger, and denial.
A plan hidden in the letters she leaves him, giving him a task for every month in the year after her death.
But Lauren had a plan to keep him moving forward.
Given his solitary job, small circle of friends and family, and the social awkwardness he\'s always suffered from, Josh has no idea how to negotiate this new, unwanted phase of life.
Being a widower is not something Joshua Park ever expected.
He just never realized how much he would need one when she was gone.
But he was happy to have his beloved wife, Lauren, remind him with her honey do lists.
Like many brilliant scientists, Josh sometimes had trouble remembering things that needed doing in the real world--like buying groceries, eating regular meals, and talking to people.
