4.25-4.5⭐️

Contemporary fiction read by Sophie Roberts. Usually for me I found the speech speed too slow and had to speed it up a little. 

Jess is a young woman just 21, a single mom to an almost 1 year old girl Edie when she is told that she has terminal breast cancer. 

She decides to write Edie notes to help her through difficult periods in her life, and to make sure she knows just how much Jess loves her. 

This is such a sad book, it’s emotionally raw and tears you to pieces. You can feel that mountain of love flood through the book. 

Keep those tissues handy, you will need them. This is straight from the heart, especially when you realise that the author herself battled cancer with a young family. 

The main emphasis is on the mother daughter relationships, but it covers other important relationships too, with emphasis on the importance of being surrounded by love.
