My hands are shaking as my fingers curl around the small, neatly wrapped box. There’s a tag dangling from the centre of the red bow which says Love from Kayla in her beautiful, swirly handwriting. I read over the three words countless times, tracing the letters with my fingertip. How is this possible?
Heather’s beloved daughter, Kayla, is her world. She is fifteen, a brilliant basketball player and a fierce friend.
Heather and Kayla have always had a special relationship. For so many years it was just the two of them, watching Friends, baking cupcakes and laughing together. But now Kayla knows her time is short, and she wants to give something back to the mother she loves more than anyone else in the world. A gift that will change Heather’s life.
With just a handful of days left, Kayla will need help from everyone around her to make this last surprise happen. Along the way, the people whose lives have been touched by Kayla’s light will be changed by her loss, and by her plan for Heather. And as Heather’s whole world threatens to fall apart, could Kayla’s forever gift be the key to piecing her life back together?
My review
This was such a beautiful story. I just don’t seem to find words to describe what went through me but it was fierce, I can assure that.
I would like to give you a warning : please make sure you have food, drinks and a bucketload of tissues on hand because you won’t want to put the book down and your heartstrings will be pulled to the limit.
Sometimes books bring tears to my eyes, but this one made them stream down my cheeks.
If you are looking for the epitome of braveness and love, this is where you will find it.
Loved it, loved it, loved it! 5 stars.
Thank you, Brooke Harris, Bookouture and Netgalley.
