⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'Oh my heartstrings!'
How do you find yourself after you lose the one you loved the most?
Lenny has been a bit of a mess since her best friend, Lou, passed away. She's avoiding her concerned parents, her apartment and the list of things she's supposed to do to enjoy life again. The only thing she can handle right now is babysitting a precocious seven-year-old, Ainsley. And if Lenny acts like she's fine, maybe no one will notice she's falling apart. The only issue: Ainsley's uncle, Miles, is always there and is kind of . . . a huge jerk.
But Miles sees right through her. He knows a lot about grief and offers her a deal: he'll help her complete her "live again" list if she'll help him re-connect with Ainsley and his sister. Lenny doubts anything can help, but as she begins to spend more time with Miles, she begins to see that, sometimes, losing everything can be the first step to finding yourself again.

I love Jenny. She is the character with who I resenated the most in all the books that I have read. I laughed, I cried, I loved and hated some parts.

This may be my audiobook of the year. Difficult feelings handled really well with tonnes of humour and humanity. Alex Finke is a brilliant narrator, she puts so much into her performance. And it's rare to make me actually well up at a book. Friends to more is my absolute fave. Thank you Cara Bastone.
