If you appreciate a romancewith great communication, this is it!
This is a book with adults who can talk with each other and convey how they feel and work out their problems! I have so much love for that (bc so many romance books seem to have these secrets they can never talk about, which the whole book depends on. This does kind of have one issue, but I liked how it was dealt with.
Elliott has leukemia and one night accidentally meets a guy who checks all the boxes, but unfortunately she has a stem cell transplant the next day, and doesn’t know if she will live. I really don’t want to say much else and spoil some of the plot, so I think it’s best to go in blind.
My bookclub mostly loved this book and we all read it quicker than 7 days - we couldn’t stop reading every night.
It’s such a fun read and also so personal to the author. She is an oncologist pharmacist and has a personal experience with characters like these.
I loved that the book takes place in Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska, bc I just went there for thanksgiving. I thought Lincoln was so charming and the area in Omaha (I happened to stay in) and it was cute, also. If you haven’t been, it’s worth looking up and seeing the downtown by the river and the Old Market district.
