The Five Stages of Falling in Love

De: Rachel Higginson

Narrado por: Christine Marshall

Elizabeth Carlson is living in the pits of hell - also known as grief. Her husband of eight years, the father of her four children and the love of her life, died from cancer. Grady's prognosis was grim even from the start, but Liz never gave up hope he would survive. How could she, when he was everything to her? Six months later she is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life and get the kids to school on time. Both seem impossible. Everything seems impossible these days.

When Ben Tyler moves in next door, she is drowning in sorrow and pain, her children are acting out, and the house is falling apart. She has no time for curious new friends or unwanted help, but Ben gives her both. And he doesn't just want to help her with yard work or cleaning the gutters. Ben wants more from Liz. More than she's capable of ever giving again.

As Liz mourns her dead husband and works her way through the five stages of grief, she finds there's more of her heart to give than she thought possible. And as new love takes hold, she peels away the guilt and heartache and discovers there's more to life than death.

loved it

great book. I really enjoyed this book. I look forward to reading more books from this author in the future.

Beautiful and heart-warming

This is the story of a woman who has lost the love of her life and has convinced herself that there is no more love for her out there. And then enters Ben who won't seem to leave her alone, helping her out on numerous occasions, working his way into her and her children's lives. I love a character like Liz who are stubborn and self-defeating, someone who tries to be strong and do it all on her own. And Ben is too sweet not to love.

I also loved the concept of this book - taking the five stages of loss/grief and entwining it with falling in love. It's beautifully written that will make you smile and cry all on the same page.

Thank you
