The Widow’s Guide to Dead Bastards ~ Jessica Waite

Reviewed by Dusti

What an incredible story! After the sudden death of her husband, Jessica finds out layers of lies, betrayal and painful realisations about the man she was with for 20 years. Left alone to raise their son, she has to unravel her grief and anger at the man she feels like she didn’t fully know. A beautiful look at how she moves through the stages of grief in such a raw and sometimes funny way. Using the resources around her to find people who can help her complete the puzzle so she can move into the next stage of her life was absolutely amazing.

If you are looking for a book that is moving, yet comical and set in the amazing city of Calgary (okay yes I might be bias) as well as stories from all the amazing places the Waites lived/worked, I highly suggest picking up this book when it publishes on July 30, 2024 at your local library or bookstore, or you can click here to order

I would like to thank Simon and Schuster Canada for providing me with an advanced copy in exchange for my review.
