Stunningly honest and bursting with wit,Someday Maybe is the story of grief and resilience that you won't be able to stop talking about.
Here are three things you should know about my husband:
1. He was the great love of my life despite his penchant for going incommunicado.2. He was,as far as I and everyone else could tell,perfectly happy.3. On New Year's Eve,he killed himself.
And here is one thing you should know about me:
1. I found him.
Bonus fact: No. I am not okay.
Eve is left heartbroken by her husband's unexpected death,but everyone around her - her friends,her boisterous British-Nigerian family,her toxic mother-in-law - seems to be pushing her to move on. Unable to face the future,Eve begins looking back,delving through the history of her marriage in an attempt to understand where it went wrong. So begins an unconventional love story about loss,resilience,and a heroine bursting with rage and unexpected joy.
