"Hold on tight to the moments that matter".  When Leni McKenzie is knocked off her bike, her family's world is turned upside down. The story looks at the impact on each family member's life. Unfortunately, I wanted to DNF this book at some stages as it took me an annoyingly long time to read. The story was beautiful but just long and drawn out in parts and I think the writing style (opening with Leni) and then progressing from there with the other narratives, threw me off and I felt the story/title of the book differed to the book I signed up to when I had skimmed the blurb. I enjoyed this book in parts and felt the pace was medium and then slowed down - It is a wholesome story and I know that some readers will relate and enjoy this one. Thank you Netgalley and Quercus Books for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
