I really enjoyed this book. The initial premise is a bit of a stretch (sending an email to your dead wife, but sending it to the wrong address), but it does take an interesting turn. I liked the progression and growth of the characters, which is always something I am looking for in a good book. The pace was a slow burn as Sarah and Lindsey get to know each other and become friends.

I tried to draw from my own experiences as Sarah was trying to deal with the grief of losing her wife and having to move on. I've seen that in my own family when my mother passed and my dad tried to keep going. I've also seen it with a friend who lost his wife. It was a frustrating section to read where Sarah pushes Lindsey away because of her guilt, but it was also understandable. I can only imagine how difficult it is to try to push on after losing a spouse. It is easy to look from the sidelines and think that the person should just get on with life when it is far more difficult. I think the author did a good job of covering those feelings of guilt and covering Sarah's recovery.

Overall, this was a very sweet novel and it is one I would recommend.
