I can always count on Allison Ashley to deliver a heartwarming love story with a medical slant, but this may be my favorite of hers. I love books that make you think while they make you feel, and this one sure did that!
“On the evening before her untimely demise, Elliott Holland went on someone else’s date. Okay, possible demise.”
Cancer has been a part of Elliott’s life for as long as she can remember. She’s dealt with leukemia twice and is about to undergo a stem cell transplant in the hopes this will be the key to beating the disease permanently.
The night before her procedure, she goes to a bar. There she starts talking with a handsome stranger, Jamie, who has apparently been stood up by his date. Jamie and Elliott enjoy each other’s company so much that she agrees to accompany him on the date he had planned. At the end of the night they share a romantic kiss, but since she doesn’t know the outcome of the transplant, they don’t trade contact information.
A year later, her cancer is in remission and she goes to meet Carly, her stem cell donor. Much to Elliott’s surprise, Carly’s boyfriend is Jamie, whom Elliott hasn’t stopped thinking about. It’s clear their feelings for one another haven’t dulled, but how can Elliott betray the woman who essentially saved her life?
I thought this was such a great story. The characters were so much fun and I loved their banter, and I was completely drawn into their lives. Plus, all the baked goods sounded amazing!
The book will publish 4/1/2025.
