This was the first book I've read by this author and it was an easy and pleasant read. However, the names really annoyed me, Dani, Rosie and Bella. One of those is a dog, it confused me and I had to read the first few chapters, twice to get hang of who was who. Perhaps I was tired, as I was reading it in bed, so that's maybe why I was lost, but it was Rosie, she was the dog!!
The book was about loss, love, grief, romance and friendship. I think the author dealt with really well with the many emotions, especially when dealing with profound loss.
The grief camp for children was wonderfully handled and I liked the whole idea of it. It was what Bella the daughter needed to walk that grief journey, while her mother, Dani walked her own road of a very different loss.
A well written story and the ending was 'warm feeling' ending. Worth reading and good if you have had a sad loss.
However, I don't know if I'd read another Mary Ellen Taylor book at the moment.

Always confusing when pets are given human names and you find out Geoffrey or Roger is their dog or cat. I wasn't impressed when I realised a utuber I follow had a dog with my name and quite glad when it kicked the bucket as she referred to it on her channel.

I just read another book that was a romantic, grief book of sorts, "Grace and Henry's Holiday Movie Marathon" by Matthew Norman. I think you might like it.
Is it American? It sounds like it.
