“It didn’t matter if you died in a car crash or peacefully in your sleep at 102 or if you drowned in a plane at the bottom of the ocean. The end result would be the same. And that was all life was. Shifting the balance, every day, to make room for joy and grace in whatever circumstances you’ve got before your time runs out.”
I could not put this one down. I read Falling a couple of years ago and liked it so when I saw this, I immediately borrowed it on my kindle. I loved this so much. I enjoyed every single character in this story and was kept on the edge of my seat the entire time. It’s very rare that a book makes me cry, but this made me cry multiple times. And THE ENDING!!!!! I didn’t expect it at all.
This is one I’m going to purchase just so I can have it in my book collection.
