"This is, Phoebe realizes, the one problem with falling in love with strangers. You don't get to keep them."
This was such a beautiful, heartbreaking read about human connection, happiness, and finding your way after you've lost yourself.
Phoebe is at a very low spot in her life. She's lost her marriage, her best friend and beloved cat - all in too small of a timeframe. She's reeling and is ready, she thinks. Ready to end it all. She books a hotel at a faraway destination and brings along her cat ...more

I kept on putting this off because I thought it was going to be depressing, but despite some of the subject matter it really wasn't. Really loved this.
