This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Firstly a massive thank you to Becci Sharpe at Head of Zeus for sending me a copy of this book for review.
I really loved this book. It was heart-breakingly beautiful. I was so hooked after the first few pages that I struggled to put this book down. Even to eat, sleep and work. It wasn't just the storyline that made this book addictive it was the way the story flowed from chapter to chapter.
We see Rachel start in the life where everything has gone wrong. Her best friend died saving her life at the age of 18, her dad is sick and she missed out on going to university after that tragic night. Five years later and after Rachel ends up in hospital she wakes up and it seems everything is right again.
I absolutely hated Matt and Cathy. They are those sort of people that think they deserve to get whatever they want and don't give a damn how it makes other people feel or affects their lives. They think they are better than everyone else.
Sarah was a great friend in both versions of Rachel's life. She was supportive and knew exactly what to say in each situation.
Jimmy. How do I describe Jimmy. He clearly loved Rachel with every fibre of his being. I mean he literally gave up his life for her. I was constantly rooting for them to get together. He is perfect for her. He is a good, kind and caring man.
I was welling up at the ending of this book. It was so sad and sweet at the same time. I honestly can't tell you how much you need to read this book. It's excellent.
