Why read it?
1 author picked Left on Tenth as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love love love this book by Delia Ephron. It packs in all my favorite themes and things—heartbreak, hope, a real life rom-com flavor, family bonds, hilarity, grief, and giddy humor.

Deftly weaving life's darkest moments with hope and humor—this book ultimately reminds us to believe in miracles, love our people, live fully, and find joy.
From Jennifer's list on inspiring you to hug your life and savor every second.
