A Miracle
Recently, our family experienced a miracle. We were given the gift of a baby girl named Mia, a first grandchild for us. It is truly a wonderful feeling to hold that baby in your arms for the first time (and a second, and a third…).

| I loved the first book, and I guess I had high expectations for the second one. It is still a good read, but it doesn't reach the level of Me Before You. I listened to the audiobook, and at times I caught my mind wandering, something that definitely ...more | |

| This is difficult to review. I was invested in the first half of the book, but the ending was too bizarre, not making a lot of sense. I think the author came up with the twist at the end first and tried to build the story to meet up with it. I listen ...more | |
