I unknowingly read the sequel to this book prior. They both stand on their own well enough, and it does not matter in which order they are read.
I enjoyed reading all of the characters' backstories and how they all ended up being such close friends. There is nothing like a crisis to bring people together and to help people sort out what really matters in life. Simon's passing provides his wife with the gift of knowing that she is stronger than she thinks and that it's ok to seek help and comfort from others. Anna realizes that she is worthy of the kind of love Karen and Simon shared and takes a bold step in redefining what she wants and what she needs. Lou realizes she has a lot to offer and does not need to hide who she is -- she is defined by so much more than her sexual preference. A great read on how tragedy can transform you for the better.
