Book 128: After Annie by Anna Quindlen

 I just finished After Annie and I give it ★★★★.

Wife and mother of four Annie has an aneurism and collapses and dies one dinnertime, leaving her husband Bill, her four children, and her best friend Annemarie to figure out their lives in the wake of this horrible event. Told from the perspectives of Bill, the oldest daughter Ali, and Annemarie, this book is very well written but oh so so so very sad. We all navigate grief in different ways, and this book is very illustrative of that, although the ending seemed too unrealistic for me.
