I loved this book.  Julia Whelan is one of my favorite narrators, and I also like her writing.  The beginning of the book seemed like a typical romance, but it had so much more than that.  It was a delightful "listen."

This story felt like it was marketed as a romance, but I do not think of it as being a romance book, and once I shifted my mindset I began to enjoy the book more. I was surprised by how deep the content was, and as someone who has experienced caring for someone with terminal cancer, I really appreciated the perspective of the author. The story was a quick read and so heartwarming, but prepare for some sad content. First-person POV.
