Book Blurb:
At Finnβs funeral, June notices a strange man lingering just beyond the crowd. A few days later, she receives a package in the mail. Inside is a beautiful teapot she recognizes from Finnβs apartment, and a note from Toby, the stranger, asking for an opportunity to meet. As the two begin to spend time together, June realizes sheβs not the only one who misses Finn, and if she can bring herself to trust this unexpected friend, he just might be the one she needs the most.

Quotes I liked:
The bed was warm and ordinary and perfect, and it had been such a long, long day. Probably the longest day of my life.

– “I thought of all the different kinds of love in the world. I could think of ten without even trying. The way parents love their kid, the way you love a puppy or chocolate ice cream or home or your favorite book or your sister. Or your uncle. thereβs those kinds of loves and thereβs the other kind. The falling kind.β
– β There was something so electric about it. So dangerous. Those little touches were everything. I lived for them. You can build a whole world around the tiniest of touches. Did you know that? Can you imagine?β
