In this moving audiobook, narrator Piper Goodeve superbly guides listeners through the complicated emotional journey of Charlotte, a 29-year-old widow. Charlotte has thrown herself 24/7 into her career as a software developer and marketing analyst. Her routine is upended when the remains of her late husband, Decker, are returned to her care after a mausoleum fire. Interference from Charlotte's difficult former mother-in-law brings Brian, Decker's best friend, back in touch with her. Their slow-burn romance is evidenced through Goodeve's rendering of Charlotte's nervous energy and uncertain tone and Brian's thoughtful, slightly enigmatic demeanor. Vibrant supporting characters, especially Charlotte's quirky, kindhearted roommate, Casey, and her mother, Jean, with her delightful Brooklyn accent, help Charlotte reassess her past and reinvigorate her personal life.
