Reading Worm

Not every book about loss offers comfort, and The Destiny of Our Stars by Greta McNeill-Moretti doesn’t try to. Instead, it offers honesty—and that’s what makes it powerful. This memoir follows Greta through the illness and death of her husband, Larry, and the long, disorienting year that follows. She writes about grief as it really feels: unfinished, awkward, and heavy. From ordinary errands that carry unbearable meaning to the quiet moments when the world seems to stop making sense, every page feels lived-in and real. What stands out most is Greta’s refusal to frame love as a mistake simply because it ended in loss. The book doesn’t promise healing or closure. It offers something truer—that love can still be worth choosing, even when it breaks you. Read the full review here: https://www.bookbelow.com/book-review/the-destiny-of-our-stars
