My Review:
What an absolutely wonderful book this was! I so enjoyed this emotional read which manages to be both heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time
The thing that most strikes you about this book is how real it feels. We’ve all heard stories about children struggling with cancer and the author manages to convey the struggle perfectly with his compassion leaping from the page. The author sadly had his own recent cancer battle and therefore understands exactly the emotions involved.
I loved the two main characters Rob and Anna who I thought were perfectly matched for each other, despite being very different. The story of how they met and fell in love is beautifully written and I so enjoyed watching it unfold. I was very involved in the story as I was so attached to the characters and therefore felt every twist acutely.
My favourite part of the book however was the wonderful descriptions of Rob’s close relationship with his father. It’s sadly unusual to read about such a close father son relationship and I thought this one was brilliantly portrayed leading to some of the most heart warming parts in the book. Having children of my own I could well imagine the scenes described and I had a tear in my eye whilst reading them.
This story is surprisingly gripping as the reader soon warms to the characters and wants to keep reading as they want to find out what happens to them. There are a few twists and turns but it’s the love for the characters that kept me reading.
This is unbelievably the author’s debut novel and I’m very excited to read more from him in the future. My heart normally sinks when I see author’s compared to Jodi Picoult but I feel this one is definitely justified as it’s similar in style and I felt it was incredibly good!
Huge thanks to Tracy Fenton for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Trapeze books for my copy of this book which is going on my keep forever shelf! If you like gripping, emotional books then you’ll love this book!
