Synopsis

A hilarious, emotional and thought-provoking book club read for fans of David Nicholls and Cecelia Ahern. –––––––––––––––––- Nell has always known the date she's going to die. After a psychic predicted her death date twenty years ago, she has lived life accepting she would never see forty – embracing adventure and travelling the world, choosing fun over commitment and laying down roots. So, when the fateful day comes, Nell feels ready. She sends five excruciatingly honest confessions to her sister, parents and past loves, knowing she won’t be around to face the consequences. Then, with her heart laid bare, all that's left to do is check into a glamorous hotel and wait for the inevitable… But when Nell unexpectedly wakes up the next morning broke, single and very much alive, she must figure out exactly how to seize this second chance at life. And then it also hits her: What on earth happens now that everyone knows how she really feels? This is the perfect book club read for fans of David Nicholls, Holly Smale and Beth O’Leary, asking what it is that makes for a life well lived. –––––––––––––––––- ‘A thought-provoking, funny, delight of a book, I couldn't put it down!’

I enjoyed this mostly. I liked the premise but I felt it didn’t quite live up to how good it might have been. Also things were a bit to convenient throughout the book. I did enjoy though and would read another by this author 😊......more

Goodreads review by Cara
