Dani Atkins is a new author for me, I like her writing style and will definitely be seeking out other books by her after enjoying this book.
Written in dual timelines, before and after, this is the story of Gemma and Finn and covers the six days after Gemma is jilted at the alter.
It is a nice, easy read book with a lovely cast of characters, a bit predictable, but who cares? It's the perfect escape. I only wish it had an epilogue.

An emotional read.
It starts on Gemma and Finn's wedding day. He doesn't turn up at the church but where is he? He doesn't count as a missing person until he has been gone for 6 days - will Gemma find out what happened before then? The story is told between now and when they met.

I just could not get into this book at all.
I tried a few times but I just found it irritating.
I shall try it again at some point and if I change my mind I shall give it an update review. I am giving it 3 stars as it does seem to be written well

Oh wow what a book! I had no idea where it always going and I had to find out what happens. I couldn't put it down!

This is the first book I've read by this author and it certainly won't be my last.

Thank you netgalley for my ARC

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. I have chosen to write this honest review voluntarily.
This is the first book I have read by this author and it won't be the last!
The book starts on Gemma and Finn's wedding day and proceeds to jump to different times in their relationship, always clearly marked at the start of a chapter so the reader knows exactly where we are. Gemma's love for Finn is evident but we are shown that it might not have been so overwhelmingly clear for Finn. The journey through the 6 days following the wedding day is fraught with suspense, and I couldn't put the book down til I discovered the outcome. Descriptions of emotions are detailed and realistic, they are so beautifully done that the reader feels as though they are there with the characters, I had many moments of goosebumps in the final quarter of the book.
Reading this book has made me sign up to follow this author, I look forward to reading more of her amazing work.

Six Days tells the love story of Finn and Gemma. It begins with Gemma making her way to the church on their wedding day, only for Finn not to be there!
Over the next six days, she wonders where Finn could be. We are then taken back through their romance via flashbacks to the past.
With a climatic ending that kept me hooked, this is another great read by Dani Atkins.

Thanks for NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book, in exchange for an honest review.

It’s been a while since I’ve read a book and just couldn’t wait to see how it all turned out and couldn’t put it down - this absolutely broke that curse! From the first page I knew it would be good, but it was so much more. It’s not as predictable as other books are and that characters are all fab! Can’t wait to read more by this author

I really enjoyed this, a different concept and one which kept me guessing throughout as to what Finn could have done. I was rooting for him and Gemma throughout. Thank you to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

I hadn't read a book by Dani Atkins previously, but this one has ensured I will seek out other titles. This was an absorbing book that I found hard to put down - I read it in two sittings. Gemma refuses to accept she has been jilted by Finn, and believes he would never have abandoned her in this way. She is convinced something has happened to him, and despite increasing evidence otherwise, she does not give up in her search for the truth. Told over six days backward and forward, her perseverance is quite astonishing and the eventual truth is quite a surprise. I really enjoyed it from start to finish.

An intense & riveting love story , just when you think you may have figured out what's happened between Gemma & Finn another puzzle unwinds everything you thought you were beginning to understand . But Gemma never gives up which for Finn in the end is the best thing of all! #NetGalley, #Goodreads, #FB, #Instagram, #Amazon.co.uk, # <img src="https://www.netgalley.com/badge/358a5cecda71b11036ec19d9f7bf5c96d13e2c55" width="80" height="80" alt="100 Book Reviews" title="100 Book Reviews"/>, #<img src="https://www.netgalley.com/badge/ef856e6ce35e6d2d729539aa1808a5fb4326a415" width="80" height="80" alt="Reviews Published" title="Reviews Published"/>, #<img src="https://www.netgalley.com/badge/aa60c7e77cc330186f26ea1f647542df8af8326a" width="80" height="80" alt="Professional Reader" title="Professional Reader"/>.

Another completely fabulous book from one of my favourite authors, Dani Atkins. This was much anticipated and was just as enthralling and captivating a read as I imagined and hoped it would be.

Using her genius for characterisation, Dani introduces the reader to Gemma and Finn. A story of true love and finding the one, told over different timelines. We meet at the start of their relationship, when neither seems to particularly like the other, move to an intense friendship and love, then to a sudden break up and finally an intended wedding.

Six days tells the story of this love and how loved ones lost can help bring people hope and togetherness. I was rooting for Gemma and Finn and found the story and the ending really poignant and needing tissues for laughter and tears.

Highly recommended and up there with the previous fabulous books previously read by this talented author.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Dani Atkins books are the best. This had Gemma trying to find Finn when he went missing on their Wedding day. She had to find him before she could file a missing report with the cops. The story went back in time, unfurling all the ups and downs of the relationship. A great page turner, the writing kept me hooked as they dealt with the dynamics of a relationship, evoking all my emotions. A great read.

Review of Six Days by Dani Atkins

This is another brillant read by Dani Atkins, as always the characters and story line are so very well though out and written. And as to be expected with any Dani Atkins book a total emotional rollarcoaster of a story. Recommened.

This is a lovely heartwarming tale. Gemma is stood up on her wedding day, but refuses to believe her fiancé would have just left her. Over the following six days Gemma faces irrefutable evidence to suggest that she has indeed been abandoned. However Gemma is staunch in her belief. We go through a rollercoaster of emotions as Gemma faces a very different life to the one she’d planned.

A somewhat unusual story unlike anything I have read before. The main characters were very well written and had real depth, there were a lots of twists to the story but in the end they did all come together and make sense. Although a real romantic story it was one where you really could not predict how it would end.

I absolutely loved this book. Dani Atkins has a great knack of making you think it’s an easy chick lit read, but there’s always something deeper and more gripping coming. Gemma and Finn seem to be destined to be together…then apart…and by 4/5 through the book, I had no idea where it was going, I loved the twist. An easy read that was gripping and I struggled to put it down!

Gemma knows, when Finn fails to turn up for their wedding, that there must be a reason, he wouldn't just jilt her at the altar. Everyone else- her family and friends- believe he has done just that and as the days go on Gemma finds out more things that point to that, but she still keeps on believing something has happened to Finn. An enthralling read, hard to put down. Marvellous.

SIX DAYS by DANI ATKINS.

Poor Gemma is left at the altar, when Finn, the love of her life is a no show on their wedding day.
Finn has quite simply disappeared into thin air.
Despite all the signs suggesting he got cold feet and has done a runner, Gemma is adamant that something must have happened to him for him not to have shown up for their nuptials.

I was absolutely glued to this book and desperately wanted to find out what had happened to Finn. I honestly couldn’t predict it, so I was hooked to the bitter end.

Gemma was a very determined character. Her unwavering belief that Finn loved her and her dogged pursuit of the truth were at times frustrating, but over all, admirable and her character really grew on me until I desperately wanted her to find the answers she needed.

Gemma and Finn’s story, was one of pure love, and gave me butterflies in my tummy while reading it.

What a fantastic book. Full of love, emotion, suspense and warmth. I honestly couldn’t put it down until I knew the outcome for these two engaging characters.
As the pace of the book picked up, it truly took my breath away.

An outstanding five stars from me.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
