Love, loss, friendship, and what's important in life

Have you ever wondered what your life would be like if you had lived the life you intended to live? We start our lives out with a vision of what we expect our lives to be. But things happen that have a direct impact on the lives we actually live.

Now, imagine that you have the chance to go back and live the life you intended. Would you take it?

Kate Waithman lost the love of her life, her husband Patrick, in a car accident 12 years ago. Now there is a new man in her life who loves her and has asked her to marry him. Can Kate let go of the past, and what could have been, to be happy in the here and now?

This book showed up in my mail box this month. I apparently had ordered it but I don't remember why. I didn't recognize the author so it must have been a recommendation. And the fact that it arrived in the mail and not directly to my Kindle was even more of a puzzle. But it happened to show up when I was just finishing up another book so, putting my TBR list aside, I began this one as soon as it arrived.

I was immediately pulled in because 1)it has two characters who share the same names as two of my daughters and 2)the main character has the career I intended to have when I entered college oh so many years ago. Those things pulled me in but it was the story that held me there. I was sure I had predicted what was going to happen at least 4 different times and I was wrong every time. When it finally became clear how it would all play out it felt right to me. I love when a story leaves me not wanting to rewrite the ending.

A very sweet story of love, loss, friendship, and what's important in life.

I will definitely seek out other books by Kristin Harmel. (less)

Loved it!

"I knew before i met you that i was meant to be yours"

Wow, just wow, this book was amazing, different, unique, heartbreaking, heartwarming, full of hope, redemption.

We have our ghost heroine Kate, she has been a living shell for the past 10 years. She doesn't know how to live, how to breathe, how to not be in pain 24/7 and she thinks she should be doing some things in her life, but then, she starts seeing her late husband in her dreams and showing her what would have happened if he hadn't died. It broke my heart every time she dreamed of her husband, i kept reading expecting her to fall asleep! Then i realized, that was not healthy, she was only living to fall asleep again and be with her unfulfilled future and it was affecting her reality.
