This book has such a moving and important message, it's one that will stay with you.
Synopsis
Two sisters, one heartbreaking promise...
To everyone who knows them, Louisa and Tom are the perfect couple. They have two beautiful kids, Stan and Flo, and are about to celebrate ten years of being happily married. Life is perfect. But when Lou is dealt devastating news, that perfect life is turned upside down and Lou and Tom must reevaluate the very foundations their marriage is built on.
Lou’s main concern is who will look after her children if she’s not there to care for them? Will anyone be able to love them like she does?
Holly can’t face the news that Lou is sick. As her older twin sister, she and Lou have always been together, and Holly has always tried to protect Lou. So she’ll do anything, promise anything, to make Lou feel safe and happy. Holly loves Stan and Flo fiercely, but with no children of her own can she ever be the mother her sister wants and needs for her children?
Determined to make the most of every last precious moment, Lou’s final wish for her family is to show them what it really means to live and love.
And as Tom and Holly try to navigate their own pain, their only care is to shower Flo and Stan with love and help them make the most of every moment together.
My Review
Louisa is given the heartbreaking news that she has incurable pancreatic cancer - just a few years after her twin sister recovers from breast cancer.
Her family is her world. She's the person who always had a backup plan and a backup for that plan, and now no plan can change the outcome.
I adored the relationship she had with her sister and how they all tried to create memories her young children would remember. The family movie night scene was particularly special ( and heart-wrenching)
This was such a raw and emotional read, and the last few chapters had me full-on crying.
Jo Bartlett did such an incredible job capturing the emotions of all the characters, and her own story is equally as moving. Jo is an amazing human.
