Very good。 This is a very good book。 A little predictable。 Of course it made me cry。 I learned some new words too!
james bain,
Heart wrenching。 I rarely write a review as I read a lot of books but felt moved to do so after reading this。 The heart wrenching subject of loosing a child was so poignant。 I lost my husband 4 months ago to a brain tumour and that was devastating but to loose a child must be the very worst loss。 I thought it was written with great understanding & authenticity。
Denise Forrest,
Sarah’s perfect world is shattered, first when her husband walks out on them and again, a few months later, when their 4 year old daughter is diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour。 She would do anything to save her daughter’s life and keep her family together。A lovely story dealing with a mother’s love。 I felt this had touches of Jodi Picoult, just not executed quite as well。 Although the story dealt with the ups and downs of the family’s journey, it didn’t reduce me to tears。I received a free Sarah’s perfect world is shattered, first when her husband walks out on them and again, a few months later, when their 4 year old daughter is diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour。 She would do anything to save her daughter’s life and keep her family together。A lovely story dealing with a mother’s love。 I felt this had touches of Jodi Picoult, just not executed quite as well。 Although the story dealt with the ups and downs of the family’s journey, it didn’t reduce me to tears。I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Absolutely heartbreaking! I read more than half this book with tears streaming down my face。 The chapters from Harry’s POV were gut wrenching and even though I knew what the story was about I was still broken by the ending。 Have to say I didn’t forgive JP, either for his infidelity or the way he treated Sarah。 She deserved so much better。

I cannot believe this is my first read by this author… what was I thinking lol The Last Days of Us is a well written women’s fiction that tore my heart apart。 Sarah is a strong courageous character that I really liked。 She felt that her world fell apart when her husband left her and their two children。 When their youngest child Robyn is diagnosed with a brain tumour she needs to do what is best for her daughter。 If your looking for a well written story with plenty of feels then I highly recommen I cannot believe this is my first read by this author… what was I thinking lol The Last Days of Us is a well written women’s fiction that tore my heart apart。 Sarah is a strong courageous character that I really liked。 She felt that her world fell apart when her husband left her and their two children。 When their youngest child Robyn is diagnosed with a brain tumour she needs to do what is best for her daughter。 If your looking for a well written story with plenty of feels then I highly recommend this story。 I’m looking forward to reading more from this author in the future。 。。。more

When I learned about this book I knew it was going to be an emotional read。 I knew it would have a lot of topics that hit triggers for some people。 Yet, I wanted to read it。I'm still coming to terms with the book and my thoughts。 I'm still dealing with how the book touched my heart and what it made me think and feel。 It was a thought provoking book, as well as a story that reminded me of certain family members and their own journeys。In this book we follow a family and the journey of a cancer pat When I learned about this book I knew it was going to be an emotional read。 I knew it would have a lot of topics that hit triggers for some people。 Yet, I wanted to read it。I'm still coming to terms with the book and my thoughts。 I'm still dealing with how the book touched my heart and what it made me think and feel。 It was a thought provoking book, as well as a story that reminded me of certain family members and their own journeys。In this book we follow a family and the journey of a cancer patient。 We follow a mother doing everything for her daughter, and focusing on enjoying the last moments they have together。 And we also follow the family dynamics, how a couple deals with this situation。Grief, anger, acceptation, sadness, resilience, love。 Those are some of the key words for me。 Of course, family, cancer, death, moving forward, and SAUDADE (that's a Portuguese word) came to play as well。 But the truth is, I like to think that it was about family and love。Many may not know, but I have had a lot of family members dealing with cancer, various types of tumors, and one of them was of a little cousin。 So, I have seen the worry in my cousin about her daughter's tumor。 I have seen them deal with it, having faith, trusting the doctor, being scared and still having the courage to keep going and doing everything for their loved ones。 And Sarah was like that, such a powerful character, trying to focus on her kids and being the best mom possible despite the circumstances。There are other aspects of the book that were interesting, the legal and medical elements, but for me what got me going was the emotional element。 It was the family and how they all had their own thoughts and had their own problems as well as the common one。Overall, I enjoyed the book a lot。 I know I would get emotional, that was a possibility, but I didn't know what to really expect and I'm so happy that I gave the book a shot and that I went through this journey。[I want to thank Rachel, at Rachel’s Random Resources, Caroline Finnerty and Boldwood Books for the eCopy of this book, via NetGalley。 Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own。] 。。。more

If you are anything like me, you might even need to read this when you’re all alone and no one will bother you。 At first I didn’t want to read this book because I knew it would tear my heart into itty bitty pieces。 But I chose to read it anyway and I am forever thankful for it!The story begins with JP leaving his wife, Sarah, and children the day after Christmas。 He no longer wants to be part of this beautiful family and says he fell out of love with Sarah。 Everything seems strained and it leaves Sarah explaining the best she can to the children that their father moved out。Not long after, Sarah notices some odd tendencies of their youngest, Robyn。 She’s an adorable little 4 year old, who’s usually active and seems to take on the world。 Until her face droops a bit on one side, then she loses her balance a bit, and she begins limping。 Sarah takes little Robyn to see a doctor, who tells her and JP that their little girl has an inoperable cancer and it’s fatal。Any time a child must go through such a rare disease like Robyn’s diagnosis of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), it’s heart-breaking! Oh, the thoughts and emotions that must go through the heads of the parents! I know it’s hard for family and friends as well, but that’s nothing compared to your own child going through it! This book does well in sharing the heart of Sarah and JP and how they fight for what they each believed to be the best for their child。 Even as parents, they disagreed on what they think is best! How do you really decide on what’s best for your child when you really don’t know if it’ll work or not?I have a good friend who’s child was diagnosed with a rare disease and he’s slowly lost his motor skills like speaking and walking。 He’s even lost his ability to chew and swallow。 As a friend, I try to give my strength, but that’s hardly much help for the actual parents! Children with rare diseases are more and more common, or maybe we’re just more aware of them, as technology progresses。 We’re extremely saddened that there isn’t a cure for everything by now, but unfortunately the best we can sometimes do is make sure these children are simply comfortable and not in pain。Special thanks to Boldwood Books and Rachel’s Random Resources for access to The Last Days of Us by Caroline Finnerty。 I give this book 5 out of 5 tiaras because of how my emotions were torn into a million pieces。 Oh my heart! No one ever thinks something like a rare disease would ever take away their precious child that they love and adore, but sometimes it happens and I grieve with you。 。。。more

This one really got me。 I loved how the story focused mostly on Sarah and her side of things。 It was very powerful to watch a mother battle for her child。 I also liked that they shared a bit from Harry, it’s great to recognize the siblings struggle too。 The only downfall is that it was very repetitive。 (ex: “besides the drooping in her face, you’d never know she was sick” “besides her loopy eye, you’d never know she was sick” “I can’t ever tell she’s sick until I notice her face” etc) Overall, I’d definitely recommend this book, 4 stars! 。。。more
