About this ebook

A wonderful, emotional roller-coaster from the #1, MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLER Shari Low.

Sometimes moving on means saying goodbye to the past...

Colm O’Flynn was loved by his close circle of family and friends, however his death came too soon for everyone to make peace with their past.

Shauna, his second wife, adored him. But one night she broke their marriage vows, and didn’t get time to ask Colm’s forgiveness.

Jess was the first Mrs O’Flynn. Her heart is set on someone new, but will the last one night stand she shared with Colm come back to haunt her?

Colm’s best friend, Dan, is recently divorced. Can he take a second shot at happiness if it means betraying the one person who always had his back?

What no-one knows is that somewhere out there Colm left messages that could set them free to start over again.

Can divine intervention help them find Colm’s last wishes before it’s too late to love again?

Perfect for the fans of Jojo Moyes, Marian Keyes and David Nicholls.

I adore Shari Low, her stories are riotously comical yet perceptively insightful. Her style is poignant and full feels yet cleverly amusing with smirk-worthy and irreverent humor. I am as enamored with her keen wit as her agile and evocative storytelling. Her latest tale was written with a dual POV and laced with deeply flawed yet irresistibly beguiling characters living intertwined lives filled with emotive inner musings, cheeky levity, family drama, grief, adultery, and snarky repartee. It was heart-squeezing, cringe-worthy, and as delightfully amusing as it was immersive. I definitely need more of this in my life.

This story! Absolute hands down perfection. Colm has a brain tumor. Being a typical man, he isn't much into sharing his feelings on the daily. But when hes given a terminal diagnosis and realizes that his time is winding down, he starts making video messages on his phone for his loved ones. His ex wife Jess and their twin sons. Current wife Shauna and his daughter Beth. And best friends Dan and Lulu. What he forgets to do is to let them know hes actually left the messages. For five years his wife and friends bungle along missing him and trying to figure out how to move on. One night after it seems everyone is lost and having trouble finding their way, Shauna finds it. And as usual, his words are just what they need and help them make important decisions in finally moving on. This book was beautiful and so well written. This is my second Shari Low novel and won't be my last. She has the perfect way of writing snappy fun dialogue all while dealing with life changing situations. As someone who also deals with difficult situations with humor, she blends the perfect mix of punchy writing and heartfelt feelings and comes up with the perfect novel. Easily one of the best books of the year. Go ahead and pre-order this one and cross off November 2 on your calender. This is most definitely a read in one sitting book! ❤❤❤❤❤/5 Thank you to NetGalley, Shari Low, and Boldwood Books for an ARC in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own.

Just a tad different from one of my favourite authors – but no less enjoyable! Colm and Shauna O’Flynn were one of those rare couples; they were meant to be together and their daughter, Beth, was the light of their lives. Then Colm got a terminal diagnosis, and life would never be the same again for either of them. Jess and Shauna are friends and support for each other, despite Jess being Colm’s first wife. Dan was his best mate and is struggling to come to terms with his recent divorce. Colm’s death has left them all trying to do the right thing by him with no idea what he would have wanted – but Colm left a series of video messages for each of them; if only they knew! I can always rely on Shari Low to life my spirits so it came as a bit of a surprise to discover this wasn’t as hysterically funny as I’m used to . . and yet, her trademark warmth and friendship shines through this novel from beginning to end. This is a bit deeper but there is no doubting who the author is; all the uplifting – and yes, crazy – moments are still there. I ADORED this one. By following both past and present, we learn so much about all of the characters and there is a lot to discover. This is a really meaningful read and not one easily forgotten but it is extremely well plotted and, as always, beautifully written by someone who has a real insight into the harder moments in life. Simply superb, and worthy not only of my recommendation but also all five glowing stars.
