He just never realized how much he would need one when she was gone.Being a widower is not something Joshua Park ever expected.

A plan that leads Joshua with a loving hand on a journey through grief, anger, and denial. It s a journey that will take Joshua from his first outing as a widower to buy groceries to an attempt at a dinner party where his lack of experience hosting creates a comic disaster to finding a new best friend while weeping in the dressing room of a clothing store. As his grief makes room for new friendships and experiences, Joshua learns Lauren s most valuable lesson: The path to happiness doesn t follow a straight line. Funny, sometimes heart-wrenching, and always uplifting, this novel from New York Times bestselling author Kristan Higgins illuminates how life s greatest joys are often hiding in plain sight.
