4 ⭐️s for the concept and message. But a weak 2.5 for writing. It’s a bit of a yawn to read and I didn’t care for any of the characters.
It was good but not great, I wouldn't re-read it, which is what makes a 4-5 star book for me. It dragged on a bit, and some of the bits were quite repetitive on an audiobook...at least in a physical book you could skip the recurring daily emails and phone calls etc. And I hate an ending that leaves the interpretation up to you, I like clarity and closure.
This book had such a great message about loving your loved ones hard and appreciating your time with them, because it goes by way too fast. I'm generally not a crying reader, but this one got me. Definitely recommend!

I remember the first day
I met you
we were so young
you were a blessing
and there was no guessing
you were the one
Love is so crazy
We had a baby
and said our vows
That's when you told me
should anything happen
I can hear you now
You told me
Chorus
if the sun comes up
and I'm not home
be strong
If I'm not beside you
Do your best to
carry on
Tell the kids about me
when they're old enough to understand
tell them that their daddy was
a good man
Those are the lyrics to the beautiful song "Good Man" written & sung by the artist India Arie. Those lyrics summarize this book far better than I could write now.
This book is both a love story between the married couple Emma and Dan, as well as a cautionary tale to the reader about the importance of putting what matters - what's irreplaceable- first in our lives.
