Liz was sold on the idea of getting a dog initially. In the midst of a rocky relationship, getting a dog seemed almost a desperate attempt at saving the situation. When the relationship ends, it is clear that the dog, Rufus, belongs with Liz, and he will change her life forever. Through every rough patch, Rufus is there to make things better. When Rufus passes away, Liz must adjust to life without him, and learns the healing that sometimes comes with letting go.
I am a sucker for a good memoir, and equally a sucker for books about dogs, so for me, a memoir that involves a dog was sure to pack a wallop. And the fact that the woman in the memoir is and aspiring writer? Well, I was sold before I ever picked it up.
Liz Weber does a fabulous job of opening her life, and her heart, to the readers of this book. I was enchanted from the first chapter. The book has an easy-natured way about it, making it a very pleasant read, even when discussing not so pleasant things. She has quite a knack for describing things in rich detail, to the point where you feel you are there, silently observing the scene.
I was highly impressed with this book; it lived up to every one of my expectations, which is no small feat.
