#28: When I'm Gone

Okay, something is messed up with this blog.  Several of my last posts had to be typed out 2 or 3 times and aren't getting saved/published.  Anyway, a few days ago I finished When I'm Gone by Emily Bleeker.  This was another book that Levi book on the Nook for me for our vacation.

It is the story of a man named Luke, whose wife dies of cancer.  It starts on the day of her funeral.  After the funeral, Luke notices a letter in the mail.  He opens it to find that it is from his wife Natalie.  She had wrote him letters before she died and planned to have them sent out on certain days.  At first he finds the letters very calming, but then he starts to question some of the things in the letters.  He begins to think that his wife was keeping terrible secrets from him during their life together.  He tells Natalie's best friend/neighbor about the letters.  She received 1 only, and tells Luke maybe he shouldn't believe what is in the letters.

I was very interested in this story.  It really had me at a point where I couldn't book the Nook down and finished it fairly quickly.  It was overall a very good story.  I do feel that it had a lot of details thrown in and at the end it was a little cheesy and predictable, but I still liked it.  Definitely worth the read.
