"How Evan Broke his Head and Other Secrets" by Garth Stein:
A coworker of mine had been talking about Garth Stein for awhile so I thought I'd check one of his books out. This book was pretty interesting and I liked his writing style... overall. There were points in the book where I thought the writing was a bit choppy, but I think that was supposed to be the style because of the plot. I am definitely going to try another one of his books though. But, the book does read quickly and I would recommend it to others!
After this I read "The Letter: My Journey Through Love, Loss and Life" by Marie Tillman.
My sister had just finished this book and said it was a good read and helpful. I thought this was a great book! While certain points were absolutely heartbreaking, Marie's writing style makes it so that she's not tyring to make you feel bad for her, but understand the crazy emotions and feelings that come with loosing someone so close to you. Her relationship with her husband seemed so beautiful and innocent and I thought it was great how she never forgot who he was and what he would have wanted. This was a pretty quick read that I recommend to anyone!
