An enjoyable book which raised interesting observations about human nature, faith and grief. Not as good as Five People You Meet in Heaven but an entertaining read with a good fast-paced twist at the end.

A startling novel about love and grief.
A breathtaking novel that will allow you to experience love and grief altogether.

I have only ever read a novel like You Are Not Here one other time. This is a novel yet in poetry form and I loved every second of it. I felt like I was Annaleah, living with the grief of losing a boyfriend right alongside her. I shed a few tears as parts were just heartbreaking and I laughed at others that were meant to be funny. This little novel is definitely one that I will be holding quite dear for the rest of my life and I can imagine myself reading it when I lost someone as dear to me as Brian was to Annaleah.

Book Favorite

"She feels the urge to become wild with something, because her own spirit was so broken. [H Is for Hawk by British author Helen Macdonald is] a really amazing story about the animal-human relationship and overcoming grief."

Never sure where its going next. (0 more)
Ends with a feeling of overall sadness for the characters (0 more)
Thought provoking, sentimental and sad
A wife struggles to deal with her grief over the death of her husband who drowned when they were on holiday. Years later she bumps into the doppelganger of her husband, her consequences of her actions shape the film and events afterwards.

Worth a watch, bittersweet film, portrayed so well you feel empathy for each character and how fleeting life is.


Also I wouldnt call this a comedy....more drama, romance, nostalgia and grief.
