I read this book in less than 24 hours. I loved it and if you’re a fan of books similar to PS I Love You or Me Before You, then I definitely think you’ll enjoy this book. The characters were brilliant, the storyline was so unique and felt so real. I’m so glad that I read this.

I bawled like a baby...

I stayed up almost all night reading this book. I wanted and needed to know what was going to happen next!? I got so emotionally invested in the characters that you would think these were real people.

Grace After Henry is a wonderfully written book about love, loss, and family. It's about picking up the pieces and learning to find some sort of happiness afterwards. The ending is super sweet.

I read this one really fast, when I started, I just needed to know that everything would work out.

Grace and Henry are about to buy a house, and then he dies. A horrible accident and she can just not move on. She sees him everywhere and misses him so much. Which is obvious, and so heartbreaking. I liked her and I wanted her to be happy again.

She has a great best friends. She has great parents. But she does not have Henry anymore. And she most learn to live again without him.

Like move into a new house and try to put it to order. Meeting new neighbors. Going back to work. And last, seeing Henry and realising that the person she sees is real. And that was another thing that made me read like crazy! I had to know what was going on and what would happen.

It was light for a book dealing with death. It had me hooked and it was so hard to put down. Grace becomes a friend.

Heartbreaking, and still light and filled with hope. Life moves on. And maybe not always in the way the reader thought.

I really liked this book. It was easy to read and flowed well. The story was captivating and had a very sweet story to tell of Grace finding herself after Henry.
