About this listen
When Robin Matheson's husband is killed in Afghanistan, she feels completely alone in her grief. If there's even one small silver lining to Tav's death, it's the fact that she'll never again have to talk to his best friend - a 500-pound "forever alone" hacker. That's what she thinks, anyway, until her three-year-old decides Cyril is now his best buddy, and Robin can't bear to take anything else away from her son. Gradually, she begins to realize that Cyril is the one person who truly understands the magnitude of her loss. He also knows far more about her husband's death than he's been letting on....

It might be because of my own personal experience, but I felt very connected to Robins emotions of her husband going on tour and the narration really helped bring this to life again.
Coping with the loss of her husband, Robin "inherits" her husbands friendship with Cyril. A difficult man whom she tolerates for the sake of her son, and I think also as a connection to her husband whom she grieves for. This story explores all the different relationships between the characters. I really enjoyed the complexity and also how the story ended. I was left with questions, emotions and wanting to know what next! But I am also glad I don't know, if that makes any sense.
Overall thoroughly recommend, this is different to my usual listen / read but I wasn't disappointed
A tale of love and loss.
