Sometimes the end is the start of forever…
Emma and Nathan couldn’t be more different. But when they meet in a hospital waiting room, to the sound of a beating clock and surrounded by faded magazines, they are both terrified, nervous and alone. And they have one fatal thing in common…
Emma lives a quiet life. She works in a library. She looks after her disabled mother. She lives vicariously through the well-thumbed pages and cracked spines of her beloved books.
Nathan spends his days fifteen thousand feet above the ground, soaring through the air, stomach somersaulting, as a sky diving instructor. He lives hard and fast, treating every day like it’s his last.
As fate throws Emma and Nathan together, everything is about to change.
Emma has never been kissed, or tasted champagne, or travelled abroad. Nathan has never fallen in love, worn odd socks, or grown a sunflower from a seed.
Emma and Nathan vow never to waste an hour, knowing that goodbye could come all too soon. But as they lose their hearts to one another against all the odds, have they found each other too late?
An utterly heartbreaking yet ultimately uplifting novel about the redemptive power of love and how the end isn’t the end at all...
It wasn’t until the last 3 chapters when I started to cry, I still had hope all the way through and then there was a cruel twist of reality. This book is just so and too realistic. It is gorgeous but so heartbreaking and the emotions I feel. As much as I love books as an escapism sometimes some books just hit you so hard, and this one does just that. I mean the title of the book is fair warning.
I loved Nathan and Emma, their story was awesome and so sad. I don’t want to spoil the book for anyone but they are a couple of people that you want to be around and that you want to wrap in cotton wool.
The audiobook is so short and it’s still not enough. I wanted more, I wanted 999 days, 9999 days!!
The tears just won’t stop! Gah!! I honestly thought I might get away with it!
It is just so beautiful, and wonderful and all that’s in between. It will make you look at life and realise that it is way too short and it’s for living.
I don’t want to say anything else, just read it, and have the tissues nearby.
Until the next time xxx
