The hardest part of death is learning how to live. The last thing Alice expects to see at her husband's graveside on his birthday is a giant, talking frog. On closer inspection, it's a grown man dressed as Kermit. Turns out Alice's husband is buried next to Ben's older brother Harry, who--as a parting practical joke in his will--insisted that Ben visit his grave each year, on this specific day, dressed in an as-yet-undisclosed pageant of embarrassing fancy dress. With little but their grief and this one day in common, Alice and Ben form a very special, very strange friendship, meeting just once a year: same day, same time, same place--different silly costume. As the years pass and grief alters, can their unique bond help them cope with the hardest part of death: life?

"I couldn't get enough of this one ! The idea is original, and even thought the theme is grief it comes with a certain tone and lightness that makes it very enjoyable. I also loved the fact that it was about deep friendship as usually there is always a romance with this type of tone. I really recommend it !"
"Even though this book is about grief it is also funny and lighthearted. I couldn't get enough of the growing friendship between Alice and Ben. The pain, troubles, and triumphs they experienced were real and raw. Very relatable for anyone who has lost someone. I felt seen and not alone while reading this "
