With a smile the whole time, the plot gave me pause when I read the synopsis, but I didn’t imagine that it would go the way it did. Instead of being sad/melancholy, we’re given characters with lovely personalities met with instances beyond their control and giving us readers a good lesson in remembering what’s important in life.

Easily one of my new favorite novels. I plucked this one from the library on a whim, and I won’t be able to put into words how utterly delightful it was but I will try! From the first chapter to the very last, Something to Live For was loaded with wit, humor, and the most unique plot I have read in years! Roper did an amazing job at instantly endearing the audience to Andrew (and Peggy). And, of course, the rest of this cast of characters were equally loveable in their quirkiness. I never knew what was coming next, but as it custom with a super well-written book, as soon as the scenes played out, it was clear it never could’ve gone any other way. This book made me gasp with shock, gasp with glee, and laugh the entire time. 10/10!!
