Pack Up the Moon
Book Feature - Pack Up the Moon by Kristan Higgins
HBL Note: I’ve featured Kristan Higgins’ last three novels on this blog, including Life and Other Inconveniences, Good Luck with That, and Always the Last to Know. I just adore her novels, so I’m excited to feature her latest, PACK UP THE MOON, which was described by her publicist as, “her most ambitious and moving story yet.” Joshua Park’s late wife arranged for a letter to arrive every month the first year after her passing. Do you think receiving a letter each month would help you grieve or keep you clinging on? Scroll down to read more about PACK UP THE MOON.
From the publisher:
PACK UP THE MOON is the story of young widower Joshua Park, whose late wife, Lauren, left him twelve letters with directions on moving forward in the first year after her death. In true Kristan Higgins fashion, the result is a laughter-through-tears page turner that will satisfy longtime fans and new readers alike.
Lauren’s letters lead Josh on a journey through pain and anger to fragile, cautious hope. The tasks he’s assigned range from the deceptively simple, like grocery shopping or hosting a dinner party for family and friends, to the unthinkable—getting rid of their bed and kissing a woman who isn’t Lauren. On Josh’s clumsy and occasionally humorous path to healing, sorrow slowly makes room for laughter and new relationships. Higgins’s heart tugging and ultimately hopeful story affirms love has the power to transform a life and transcend death.
