This was a heartbreakingly beautiful read, filled with both sadness and hope. Theo appears in Kate’s life just when she needs him most to support her as her beloved brother, with cystic fibrosis, is dying. There is a haunting shadow of grief that hangs across the story and yet there are still magical moments of family, friendship, new love and laughter and hilarity within. A promise to a dying man causes more trouble than expected, and I had an idea of what was coming early on and continued reading with goosebumps and sadness at times between the highs and lows of the relationship between Kate and Theo. The ending felt a little rushed, partly because I wanted to read more of their story together; I will definitely look out for more books by Catherine Miller though. Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for letting me read an advanced copy in exchange for a review. Due out in Australia on 3rd October 2024.

I read this in an evening, perfect light entertainment which left me wanting more……. Such a delightful read, which I absolutely loved!

I was given this book by NetGalley for an honest review-
Kate is at a bacheloret party when she receives the message her brother is doing poorly. She meets Theo on the train and he gives her a ride to the hospital . Each date has them falling deeper in love until her calls aren’t answered—- did he ghost her? What changed? Why? Can she find the answer? A beautiful story of love.

Catherine Miller sure knows how to write emotional stories that pull on readers’ heartstrings!

This powerful and epic romance story sheds light on grief ghosting. Never heard of it? It’s what happens when we are abandoned in our time of need by people we thought we could count on. As quickly as Theo came into her life, he leaves, making Kate, a respiratory specialist nurse, wonder what happened.

Kate is running on adrenaline when she first meets Theo and he becomes her guardian angel, helping her through a rough time in her life. Despite circumstances, they fall in love and he becomes her bedrock … until he ghosts her. Did she have it all wrong? What happened?

Keep the tissues handy and clear your schedule. You won’t be able to set the book down until you find out if Kate finds Theo and if she discovers why he disappeared.

I was gifted this copy by Bookouture and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.

This is a very emotional and heartbreaking read. More mystery than thriller. Looking forward to more by this author.
