Take A Moment is a sweet reminder to slow down in today’s very busy world. Alex is a focused young woman who is successful in her new career and planning her dream wedding. When she starts to feel tired she brushes it off as wedding stress and stays focused on her goals. Then something happens that forces her to slow down.

Alex’s life is turned upside down. I admire her strength, both physical and mental. She goes on a journey and finds out what is really important to her but it takes her slowing down to realize it.

This book had so much potential, and I did enjoy the general plot, but I really hated the writing style and felt the way the author described things was way too over complicated. I liked Alex as a character, but her assumptions on how people would react, rather than giving them a chance really frustrated me. I also wasn’t too keen on the ending being wrapped in a pretty bow, as so many of us with chronic illnesses don’t get that kind of happy ending. It kind of felt like a first or second draft of a book if I’m completely honest. But I did think it could have been amazing and I really appreciated the story!!

Alex is at the top of her game. She has a success career as an IT project manager and she’s engaged to her fiancé Dom and they’re planning their dream wedding. When a fall at work lands her in the hospital with a long term illness her whole life comes crashing down around her. Her relationship is tested and her career may not be as stable as it once seemed. She makes some life changing decisions and must figure out how to cope and live with the news.

Alex: She’s such a relatable character. She handled the news in such a realistic way. She’s independent, she’s witty and a lovable person.

Matt: I looooovee Matt but he was way too perfect. He knew exactly what to say. He was perfect for Alex but at the same time he probably wouldn’t have handled the situations in such a perfect manner in the real world but book Matt was perfect for Alex.

I absolutely LOVED this book. It has office drama, romcom adorableness, family dynamic struggles. Literally everything you can want in a book is in it. I loved it.
