Seven years later, when Lois is given <em>The Manual</em>, she can barely bring herself to read her father's words, the pain of his loss is still so raw. Yet soon Kevin's advice is guiding her through every stage of life from teen angst to career arcs, to knowing when she's at long last met the one. While <em>The Manual</em> can never be a substitute for having Kevin back, the words left behind become Lois's steady support through all of life's ups and downs, and prove invaluable to unlocking the key to happiness.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A lovely, exuberant tearjerker of a book, perfect for curling up with on a wet afternoon."--Lisa Jewell<br><br>"A stunning debut."--Pride, UK<br><br>"A thought-provoking, lovely tale that will make you laugh and cry."--The Sun, UK<br><br>"Curl up and read immediately...a real tearjerker.
