This book will have you GRIPPED!
As soon as I read the synopsis for this book I knew it would be a good read!
I was offered a chance by Book Sirens to select an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) of any book from a list of a few hundred in order to give an honest review, after scrolling through a few books I came across this book.
After reading the synopsis I knew that this would be a good book, I didn’t realise how good.
This is a book I won’t forget in a hurry.
Have a read of the synopsis for yourself…
Synopsis
My Thoughts
I was immediately drawn to Annie, it’s hard not to be, especially when the book opens with absolutely shocking news, I was practically shouting at the book, wondering why Annie’s doctor was being such an old fashioned male chauvinistic, although further on I soon warmed to him and was screaming at Annie to please just listen to him!
Yes, I was whole-heartedly invested in Annie & Sam from the get-go, the characters are so well written I felt as if I knew them, I felt the highs, tears pricked my eyes through the lows and really empathised with dilemma that Annie was facing.
Although Sam seemed like a man-child, which I found slightly annoying at times, especially when we hear some of the backstory of the situations that Annie has had to put up with with Sam (I was totally eye-rolling)Although I blame Sam’s mother, I feel Annie doesn’t help Sam to “grow up” but we do learn that there may be other reasons for her “mothering” him.
This book covers themes including marriage, motherhood, mother-daughter /mother -son relationships & makes you think of your own loved ones and how they would cope with you gone, not a lovely thought but one that we must face at some time, sadly, too soon for some.
I’m so impressed with the way that Mameve has managed to keep the humour and fun in a story with such a serious subject matter – this is got to be made into a film – It would be an absolute blockbuster.
This is my first book of 2021, so glad I chose it – It was time, well spent!
