This is my fourth book by this author and it was such a pleasure to read, it is the epitome of women’s fiction. It is three different love stories, that are entwined and converge in the end with the death of the man these women loved. We also hear about his parents and children and how they are dealing with it all. I loved getting the backstories, especially when he met Clair as a teen. The book is basically Seb’s life story from the time he meets Clair with back-and-forth chapters from his funeral as well.
It was really hard not to like Seb, I really wanted to hate him because he was such a cad. First of all, it was hard to hate a dead man, and second of all, he was a wonderful father and a good son. There was also an air of mystery surrounding Seb’s death and it is kept secret until the end. I really admired Clare and Desiree, Noemie was a real piece of work though.
This is very much a character-driven story and Folbigg writes interesting and very real characters. They were well-rounded and true to life. And even though the story is dealing with a funeral and the sorrow felt by Seb’s loved ones was visceral there were some very funny parts as well. This was a well-rounded story with a writing style and format that keeps the reader engaged. I flew through this four-hundred-page book in no time.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the Advance Readers Copy.
