The Day I Lost You

Everyone here who read this book enjoyed it - individual reviews below.

I really enjoyed this book. For me it was a real page turner as I raced to the end but dreaded getting there.
The writing is plain and accessible with plenty of well observed detail. It is an examination of how ordinary people deal with grief, shock and loss on a daily basis. It also encompasses elements of a ‘who done it’ as the plot unfolds through the conceit of using a blog - a clever modern touch. There are enough plausible twists and revelations to provide meat for the reader.
With mounting tension, the characters are gradually unwrapped with a ‘sweetener’ between each layer, rather like pass the parcel.
It is a light read of the sort you could take on holiday or curl up with on a wet afternoon but nonetheless satisfying.
The book embraces a wide age range of characters to recognise & relate to but I think my favourite character is Theo because he seems a rare beast, a good looking and morally upright man with few flaws, although that ought to make him less interesting than the others. (Probably just wishful thinking on my part).
My instinct is that this book will speak more to women and have more meaningful engagement for those of us who have lived a little and experienced the inevitable loss and knocks that Life doles out.

‘The day I lost you’ grabbed my attention from page 1 and kept me intrigued throughout the whole book. I felt I really got to know the characters and the grief suffered by all of them for various reasons brought tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat on several occasions.
I had some suspicions about the secrets held by the characters and in some cases I was right but not all.
I also enjoyed how the author managed to write about ordinary everyday occurrences in such a way that rather than find it boring it added to the story and getting to know each character.
Even after finishing the book I have not been able to stop thinking about it…

I loved this book from the beginning to the end. It’s a book with lots of love and loss with quite a bit of mystery thrown in. An emotional read!

An extremely gripping and moving story. I read it I one go as I was unable to put it down.
The chapters are written from a single characters point of view intercepted by blogs from the dead Anna. They were in a different font, and at different times which added to the plot.
I would strongly recommend this book.

Enjoyed this book very much and would definitely recommend it.
