For One More Day by Mitch Albom

3.0

By no means a bad book but too much of a "crowd pleaser" for me. It does everything that A Christmas Carol and It's A Wonderful Life have achieved before it. There's nothing particularly unique about it but it's certainly comforting hearing a story which lets you know that it's never too late to turn things around. I should have liked to see more instances where Chick is a likable person, like when he meets his wife dancing and lip syncing to an old record his mum liked; there were plenty of relatable instances where he mentions his mistakes but it would have been nice to see more moments where we see his goodness, especially for a book like this where the main effect is making a reader feel sentimental, nostalgic, and understanding of how life is but a series of moments (good and bad) we just need to make sure we revel more in the good, not letting ourselves be consumed by the bad.
