Before We Say Goodbye | Madeleine Reiss
5 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
With only months left to live, can he heal his mother's heart? Josie Hudson's whole life has been about one thing and one thing only: keeping her son Scott alive. And when Scott, now nineteen, finds out that his heart is once again failing - with no hope of a transplant - Josie's world comes crashing down. Determined to give meaning to his final months, Scott decides to find a match for his mum: someone to be there for her when he will no longer be. Posting a video on YouTube, Scott sets out to find the perfect man, but it just might be that the man of her dreams is a little closer to home . . . Heart-warming and tear-jerking, this is a devastatingly beautiful novel about love, family and learning to let go.

"At some point on the drive home, with the rain beating against the windscreen and the trees looking as if they had no memory of leaves past and leaves to come, feeling weakened by what he hadn't been able to say, he made a resolution. He would find her someone to love so that she wouldn't be alone when he wasn't there anymore."

Oh wow this is so heart breaking. It's utterly beautiful and so touching but needs a tissue warning. The ending us so well written but the letter at the end just broke me. I loved all the dates and the messages from the suitors. Thus could have been so depressing but the light scenes really balance it out.

Very good. This book is so well written as you get so involved in the characters and their story so much you wish it would turn out so differently but unfortunately it doesn't but that is what makes this book so good even though its not particularly happy there is resolution and you do feel better by the end of the story Thank you #Readersfirst for the copy.
