But by the point the trek happened in the plot, I really was a bit 'over it' as it took so long to get there. I went from being curled up on my bed in South Yorkshire to being wrapped up in several layers at the top of a Peruvian mountain sobbing, while saying goodbye to a dear friend. Well, I needn’t have worried because what happens is there’s a feeling of support and community in the room which is so beautiful and empowering.

Reading from each of their views you learn all their highs and lows, Giovanna made these characters come to life, you feel like you really know them.They follow her rules which lead them to a trek through Manchu Pichu which ends up being cathartic for them all and causes them to reevaluate what and who’s important in their lives. I don't see the emotions, the pain - it is more like emotionless descriptions of the friends who sit with the bottle of wine and talk about the absent girl. They learn to smile, laugh and live all over again with each other, helping each other to find answers to questions, light in the darkness and some smiles amongst the tears. One of these rules sees Pia and Mike’s l best friends Vicki and Zara join him on a once in a lifetime trip to Peru where they can honour their lost loved one and reflect on how to move forward.

I loved this so much , a very emotional read and so very heartbreaking at times, it is still an uplifting story. But when the latest item on the list sends them on a trek to Peru, the trio faces some tricky situations and their bonds appear to start breaking. In the newborn stages with Max bed was somewhere I’d long to be – snuggled up under the duvet and having a straight five hours sounded like heaven.After Mike loses Pia, his partner of seventeen years, her best friends Vicky and Zaza try to help pick up the pieces. While this story is based on loss and grief, it also has many uplifting chapters that make you smile and moments that make you laugh out loud.
