BLURB
A new, sexy standalone from #1 New York Times Bestseller, Vi Keeland.
When my grandmother found out she didn’t have long to live, she embarked on a crazy trip—jumping out of airplanes and scuba diving with sharks.
After I repeatedly voiced my concern, Gram blocked me—her own grandson—on text and social media, leaving me only her travel companion Eleanor’s number.
Eleanor started sending me pictures of Gram’s adventures. At first she seemed nice, but when I attempted to persuade her to talk some sense into her friend, she told me where I could stick my advice. After that, photos arrived with snarky comments, and Eleanor and I got into it on more than one occasion.
When I heard Gram’s upcoming plans were more dangerous than ever, I hopped on a plane.
Since I arrived late, I headed to the bar for a drink, figuring I’d surprise her in the morning.
To my delight, I met a gorgeous woman looking for a no-strings-attached night. Nora was just what I needed. She invited me back to her room, telling me to give her a ten-minute head start. But when I went to pay her bar tab, I realized how much she’d had to drink. As much as I wanted to ignore it, I couldn’t. So I stood Nora up.
I knew she’d be pissed, but I also knew I’d never see her again.
Except never came a little early. Namely, the next morning when I went to meet my grandmother and her evil-spinster friend. Because old Eleanor turned out to be young Nora from last night. And if I thought the woman disliked me before, that was nothing compared to how ticked-off she was now. Or how unhappy she was going to be that their party of two was about to become a party of three.
“Sometimes we find the right person at the wrong time. And we just have to trust fate.”
ARC REVIEW
This book gutted me so much. I couldn’t see the twist coming but you can never prepare yourself. This story broke me, but also it really makes you think and enjoy the most of out life. Live every day like it is your last and come out of your comfort zone.
Nora and Beck meet at a bar, but the next morning find out they have a person in common, Louise. I love the instant connection that Nora and Beck have. I love that Beck isn’t afraid to just speak his mind, especially when it comes to Nora. She isn’t going to put up with it though and it really doesn’t phase her most of the time. These two balance each other so well.
Louise. I adore her. She is a real inspiration. She has a zest for life that just brings you joy, even in the worst situations. I love the bond her and Nora have and the friendship that they have formed.
There were some things in this book that were difficult to read personally for me. It was too close to real life, but this is really just a me thing and really didn’t take anything away from the overall story.
If you’re looking for an emotional, opposites attract, single dad, slow burn check this one out.
