Many thanks to NetGalley, Ballantine Books and Linda Holmes for the opportunity to read this wonderful novel - I loved it.

As she is packing her car, she gets a call that Tim was in an accident. When she gets to the hospital and finds out he has died, she is left feeling like a monster because she isn't sad. Everyone thinks she is devastated by her grief when she can't leave her house or function normally. Her best friend, Andy, does everything he can to help her through this. period, even though she doesn't fully share her feelings with him. Andy is dealing with his own issues being a single parent to two young girls. When Andy's friend, Dean, a major league baseball player who can no longer pitch needs a place to escape, he talks Evvie into renting Dean the apartment space in her house.
I just really loved these characters - each one felt so real to me. Highly recommended - a wonderful book!
