Pack Up the Moon

De: Kristan Higgins

Narrado por: Dion Graham, Xe Sands

Every month, a letter. That's what Lauren decides to leave her husband when she finds out she's dying. Each month, she gives Josh a letter containing a task to help him face this first year without her, leading him on a heartrending, beautiful, often humorous journey to find happiness again in this new novel from the New York Times best-selling author Kristan Higgins.

Joshua and Lauren are the perfect couple. Newly married, they're wildly in love, each on a successful and rewarding career path. Then Lauren is diagnosed with a terminal illness.

As Lauren's disease progresses, Joshua struggles to make the most of the time he has left with his wife and to come to terms with his future - a future without the only woman he's ever loved. He's so consumed with finding a way to avoid the inevitable ending that he never imagines his life after Lauren.

But Lauren has a plan to keep her husband moving forward. A plan hidden in the letters she leaves him. In those letters, one for every month in the year after her death, Lauren leads Joshua on a journey through pain, anger, and denial. It's a journey that will take Joshua from his attempt at a dinner party for family and friends to getting rid of their bed...from a visit with a psychic medium to a kiss with a woman who isn't Lauren. As his grief makes room for laughter and new relationships, Joshua learns Lauren's most valuable lesson: The path to happiness doesn't follow a straight line.

Sometimes heartbreaking, often funny, and always uplifting, this novel from New York Times best-selling author Kristan Higgins illuminates how life's greatest joys are often hiding in plain sight.

Grab the kleenex

This book came out just after I lost my best friend to a similar lung disease, and I cried my eyes out listening to it and thinking of my dear friend, and imagining what she was thinking inside. The narrator did a great job pulling me in and telling this story. The story felt real and honest, and I felt every word deep inside. A great book to help with the grief of losing someone you love. I am glad I used my last credit for this book. I will have to look for more Kristan Higgins books.

That was ps I love you vibes

I really loved the story but the narration by Dion was annoying for me to listen to and somewhat distracting.

I cried hard in many parts and laughed in between. Such a great love story!

The narrators were great!

Loved the story! Loved the narrators!! Both really made you feel you were truly involved in the story!

Beautifully written

I have listened to 10 or so Kristin Higgins books in the past year. Pack Up The Moon is by far my favorite. It was so beautifully written. The narrators were perfect for this story and the characters. The emotions and feelings so perfectly described and detailed and portrayed. I cried several times during this, both happy and sad. This is one of those books that will stay with me a while. This is definitely worth the read/listen.

Fantastic Audio Book!

At times, you could hear the male narrators breathing and that was a bit distracting. But overall I loved it!

Heartfelt

By far her best story. It kinda reminded me of P.S. I love you, this was better and more relatable with the characters.

get out the tissues

4 stars audio. I know it would be 5 stars if I read it. the male narration was brutal. female great. the story omg. have some serious tissues for the last 10% especially. Having lost a spouse myself wow but it was more just the transition life takes that had me bawling. well written. some things I roll my eyes at for over describing but she's a great author. I love how she told this story counting down and up. it was really good.

Emotional

It was a great reminder to be your best and to have gratitude for all life has to offer. So grateful for my belief in life after death and that family are eternal.

Slow start

I had a hard time getting started with this listen. Then with chapter 5 I didn’t want to turn it off. Great story and amazing narration. There were a lot of tears the last three hours, but it all came to a beautiful ending.

Beautiful heartbreak!

Kristan Higgins is a new author for me. Loved the writing and the storyline. I’ll be listening to more of her work!
