Seventeen-year-old Tess Fowler has just dropped out of high school. She can barely function after learning of Jonah’s death. Jonah, the boy she’d traded banter with over texts and heartfelt e-mails.This sounds like it might be a sad read, but I don't mind books that make me cry!
Jonah, the first boy she'd told she loved and the first boy to say it back.
Jonah, the boy whose suicide she never saw coming.
Tess continues to write to Jonah, as a way of processing her grief and confusion. But for now she finds solace in perhaps the unlikeliest of ways: by helping her father with his new alternative funeral business, where his biggest client is . . . a prized racehorse?
As Tess’s involvement in her father’s business grows, both find comfort in the clients they serve and in each other. But love, loss, and life are so much more complicated than Tess ever thought. Especially after she receives a message that turns her life upside down. - from Goodreads
I love grief books (for some odd reason), and had added this to my TBR as soon as I saw it.

I love the synopsis! Sometimes it's nice to just pick up a book that makes you cry! I haven't read a book that's made me cry for a while...and now I kind of do. :D Added this to my TBR, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I hope you enjoy it! I love it when a book makes me cry.
DeleteIt does sound like it might be a sad read, but the mention of the alternative funeral business is what grabbed my attention especially as it's how she finds solace. I thouhg that very unexpected! Great pick!
