Book Review: The Optimist's Guide to Letting Go by Amy E. Reichert

**Big, big thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to review this!**

This beautiful story spans 3 generations of women. Regina is in the middle, daughter to Lorraine and mother to May. Lorraine suffers a stroke and some of the things she has worked so hard to keep hidden, come out. I feel for her, because all she can do is watch the fallout.

Regina and May are both still trying to recover from the loss of their husband and father. He died unexpectedly 2 years before. Both are being told by people to move on and both are alone in their grief.

I feel like Amy loves food. There's always something that the story revolves around. In this one, Regina or G, runs a food truck named Grilled G's. Guess what she makes? Grilled cheese. And May, experiments with brownies. I really, really wanted to try May's bacon caramel brownies.

I feel like there is less romance than love. The love of families, the true love that sometimes happens, and the new love that is sweet and shy. She works her way through all of them and you just finish the book with a sigh and maybe a tear.

Please, keep writing, Amy!!!
