The months pass as close friends help prop Holly up around her, a marriage falls apart, a couple gets engaged and a friend announces her pregnancy. She also enters a karaoke contest, takes a beach vacation and dances at a holiday ball she'd always attended with Gerry. Gerry correctly predicts that Holly will not have gone through his belongings by June, found a new job by September or considered falling in love again by December, but with his posthumous epistolary encouragement she does all those things. But Gerry has a final gift: a series of letters, which Holly is to open on the first of each month from March to New Year's, and which will guide her on her journey from grief. Soul mates Holly and Gerry married in their early 20s when Gerry dies of brain cancer at 30, Holly is utterly bereft.
Ahern, the mediagenic 22-year-old daughter of Ireland's prime minister, debuts with a sweet, sentimental tale of a young widow's trials and triumphs in the year after her husband's death.
