Response to Moving On

I read moving on and I thought it was a pretty great story. It sounded pretty simple to follow through which I liked. Everyone has different preferences but I happen to not like stories that sound quite depressing even though Diane Cook didn't really want to make it sound like that. She clearly indicates the character's feeling towards her husband's death. The character has mentioned that it was hard for her to move on but did not show emotions what so ever. So basically the author restricted the character from showing much emotions, in my opinion because she was forced not to for the sake of her wellbeing.
