I listened to "My Wife Said You May Want to Marry Me" by Jason Rosenthal.

It was a nonfiction about a man whose wife died of cancer when they were both 52.  The book covers his early years, their 26 years of marriage and 3 kids, her illness, and his adjustment to being widowed.  His wife was a children's book author.  A few weeks before she died, she wrote an article that was published in the NYT modern love column called "you may want to marry my husband", which apparently went viral.

I thought it was dry.  95 percent of what I read is fiction, and this is the first nonfiction I had read in a while.  It made me realize how much more boring real life is than fiction.

I chose the book because it had an interesting title.  I thought the book would mainly be about the responses to the article his wife had written for the NYT.  Instead, that part was barely mentioned.

I checked the book out from my library Libby /Overdrive website.  [/quote]
