Summary
Gripping, moving and beautifully observed, this is a love story told from both sides, with warmth, tenderness and heart.
Whir, beep, click, breath. Whir, beep, click, breath.
Pippa Gallagher is rushed in to hospital following a traffic accident.
As Pippa lies unconscious, she is aware of fragments. The day she met Steve Gallagher, her best friend and the man who would become the love of her life. The heartbreak she felt tonight as she got into her car, her eyes blurry from tears.
Meanwhile Steve sits at her bedside, his eyes fixed on her pale, still face. He has no idea where his wife was going when she crashed. No clue as to why she became distracted behind the wheel. All he knows is that she is his world. And that he wasn't there when she needed him most.
For the next 12 hours, Steve tells Pippa all the reasons he loves her.
But is it too late? Can Pippa find her way back to him?

Beautifully written
This book was exquisitely written, it made me laugh, it made me feel sad. It’s a story of two people who simply belong together. I didn’t love Pippa or Steve as characters, but I did absolutely buy in to their relationship, that they belonged. I give this book 5 stars because I really appreciated the good writing.

Superb narration and wonderful novel
Loved this. I felt very connected to the characters and found myself gasping, laughing and the tears pricking my eyes. Fabulous story and wonderful retelling.

Gripping
Even better as it’s read by the authors + 1. Had me enthralled. (Perhaps because I’m a nurse, but not a busman’s holiday at all!). Great premise, well executed. Hurry up and write another please.

Absolutely loved this book
As someone who usually listens to crime dramas, this was quite a departure for me but I really loved this book. It’s told from both Pippa and Steve’s perspective, as well as flipping back into the past then back to the modern day which keeps it engaging. It covers some really heartbreaking topics with sensitivity and grace. I was left with goosebumps. I would highly recommend this book.

Funny, sad, emotional all rolled into one!
Chose this on the spur of the moment. So glad I did. Narrators were the authors and you can tell. It’s laugh out loud in parts and very emotional in others. loved the storyline, the acting, everything about it! Would love these two to write another!

A love story like no other
I loved this book and was gripped right from the start. Almost immediately, you are pulled into the great love story of Pippa and Steve.
it is beautifully narrated and beautifully written.

I shouldn’t have given in to the audible recommendation
I think I have been spoilt by some absolutely superb storytelling in my previous listens, particularly the Book of Memory. I took the easy option with my monthly free book and went for the recommendation. It is nowhere near in the same league. I agree with some of these reviews and after a few hours in I realise it is meant for a teenage audience. I will probably stay with it to see if it gets any better but regret my miss- spent free listen.

Enjoyable
Good narrating and engaging story. Pity about the implausible/unrealistic medical aspects which tainted it slightly but most non-medical people wouldn’t notice the inaccuracies. Overall very enjoyable
