Review: Trying to figure this book out.
Rating: 3 out of 5

After reading several end of the world books, I chose to read something like. The started with Jay and Maya arguing about a trip. jay is trying to get his computer company up and running and he hasn't spent enough time with Maya, his wife and son Calder. Jay misses some special event of his son. Maya wants to take a little family ski trip and Jay is trying to get out of it. Maya and Calder leave on their trip and by the end of the day Jay who has been feeling guilty all day decides to make the trip. While driving to the ski lodge Jay falls asleep at the and plunges the car down a cliff and before he can be taken out of the car it drops another 100 feet into a bay and he drowns. So we spend the first half of the book dealing with anger, guilt, and grief, from all three characters. At the half point we deal with a physic and the infidelity of Maya shortly before Jay death. This reminded me of an average "Ghost" story. It deals with all emotions you have to deal with in losing a loved one. How you over come this and move on. It was an average read, it slows to snails pace in the middle of the book and really speeds up to finish.
