Gut-wrenching and Healing: The Cabin by Jasinda Wilder

G

Series: Standalone

Release Date: October 22, 2020

<strong>Synopsis</strong>
One year ago, I buried my husband.

One year ago, I held his hand and said goodbye.

Now I spend most of my days lost somewhere between trying to remember every smallest detail of our lives, and trying to forget it all. I fill my hours with work until I’m too exhausted to remember him, to feel anything at all.

One year, 365 days—and then one knock at my door changes everything. A letter from him, a last request, a secret will:

My dearest Nadia,

Trust me, my love. One last time, trust me. Sometimes the epilogue to one story is the beginning of another.

<strong>Ending</strong>
HEA (married and expecting a baby)
<strong>Representation</strong>
• Black Biracial supporting character
<strong>Possible Triggers:</strong> Yes
• Cancer
• Death of loved ones
• Grief
• Depression
• Suicidal ideation
• References of miscarriage
<strong>Safety Rating:</strong> Not Safe
• No cheating
• No OW/OM drama
— But the Heroine’s husband dies from cancer at ~30% into the novel. So, the reader gets his POV. He’s really the first Hero.
— The Hero (who the Heroine eventually gets with) is also grieving *his* dead wife
• Does have the Heroine pushing the Hero away
• No separation

Note: the Safety Rating is Not Safe because the reader reads the Heroine’s husband — who she’s very much in love with — die on page in both their POVs.

• See Ending for HEA status.
• See Possible Triggers for Abuse and OTT sad parts.

Format: Kindle Unlimited

Rating: 3.5/5 stars
