Margaret's journey through recover is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Her family rally around her, hospital staff and her physical therapist support and challenge her. Margaret comes to some major decisions through learning to be vigilant with her thoughts and decisions, a life lesson we all need to learn.
A wonderfully moving novel.
Karen recommended
Well written with believable dialogue, sympathetic characters & a plot line that holds all the way through. Similar to Jojo Moyes's Me Before You but more hopeful.
"When you don't know what to do for yourself, do something for somebody else." That pretty much sums up the novel.
This was such a good story. A tragic accident lands Margaret in hospital with more than she can cope with.
Although some parts are predictable, I love that I ended the book feeling more grateful for what I have.
Author used "visceral" too many times...haha just saying
