The Honeymoon - Laura Murphy, Bonnier Books UK

The Honeymoon is not a book about grief. There is grief in it, a whole truckload of grief,but it will not offer advice. Im twenty-eight, what do I know? Instead, it will be primarily the story of my six weeks in Europe on my honeymoon alone, told succinctly and in short chapters based around specific experiences - some emotionally harrowing, most uplifting or even funny - that helped me realize, even at my lowest, that people care, and life is full of moments to be cherished. Both devasting and inspiring, THE HONEYMOON is a brilliant commercial non-fiction project, pitched as a non-fiction Nicholas Sparks, a tear-jerker of a heartbreaking love story about the authors experience of losing her partner a month before their planned wedding, and then deciding to go her honeymoon in a soul-searching quest as she stumbles through her grief and beyond. The story was covered in the Washington Post and widely in the UK media, after which Daniel, Laura and Bret all decided to work together. Laura posts regularly about her experience on TikTok as her story continues to unfold. The cowriter is NYT bestselling writer Bret Witter (Dewey, Monument Men, Stronger-all NY Times Bestsellers.)
