Emotional and realisticâ¦Daisy Richmond receives the devastating news that her cancer is back, and it is a particularly aggressive one. She does not think her husband Jack can take care of himself. So, it becomes her mission to find a new wife for her husband before she dies. But can she handle seeing him fall in love with another woman? There were times that Daisy comes off as hard and pushes people away. But perhaps that is a normal reaction. She had to struggle with letting go or holding on. I really felt like Oakley portrayed Daisy's emotions with realism, and she made me feel them also. She made me think about what I would do if I knew I was going to dieâ¦soon.

The characters are likable, believable, and well-developed. I became emotionally invested in these characters. Daisy's best friend Kayleigh provided just the right amount of comic relief, so the story was not overly depressing. In fact, it is ultimately a feel-good story. Oakley finds just the right balance. The love between Daisy and Jack and between Daisy and Kayleigh filled my heart.

The emotions expressed are so realistic they are likely to bring on a good cry, so keep tissues close. It was a beautiful journey.

This was a good read, and I recommend it to others.

I enjoyed the book, it made me cry, but it also made me a little crazy with the lack of conversation between Daisy and Jack. I don't know if I could be candid with my husband in her situation, but I am hoping I would be and wouldn't just push him away.
