Seven Weeks to Forever
Cassidy Jordan won't open her heart to anyone, and with good reason. She's a second-timer, returned from the afterlife after a devastating romance caused her death. All that stands between her and eternity is finding Riley Davis and helping him get his life on track. But nobody told her helping Riley would mean dating him.
When Cassidy realizes she's falling for Riley, she's faced with a choice: give him the life he's meant for and leave this life when it's time, or give up eternity for the true love she's never had, knowing Riley will die the same way she did in her first life and that her entire existence could end at any time.
Love can be unstoppable, but will it be enough for Cassidy and Riley?

(RabidReads.com)I found this book on Naomi’s Reading Palace Blog a couple of month ago, she loved it, and I just got around to reading it. I ended up being really pleased that I read it, because it’s a good romance with a different sort of fantasy element than I usually read about. And, it’s a standalone!
Cassidy is seventeen going on eighteen, and is spending the summer at her deceased parents home in Los Angeles, by herself. She knows that she is finally due to leave this world shortly after her birthday and go back to The After Life. She’s on a mission to help a young man, Riley, and she has no idea what he needs from her. Cassidy can only go back to the After if she succeeds. She lost her original life many years ago due to a cosmic mistake, so she was able to come back and help someone else. She was sent back to the Before as they call our life, as a little girl. A little girl that knows exactly what is going on. Time is running out when she finally finds Riley, and she has only seven weeks left to complete her mission.
Cassidy as a character was pretty typical for her age if you didn’t know her real story. She goes to concerts, loves vinyl records, and can see peoples energy that surround them. From the energy colors she can tell how people are feeling. Because she has known since she was little that she would be dying at a young age, she has kept herself pretty separate from people, as far as relationships and friendships. She doesn’t want people to hurt when she dies. She has an adviser from the After, named Noah. Noah visits often, popping in at any time he feels she needs him. He never gives her all the information she needs, but occasionally does help with her mission. I liked him as a character, as I did Cassidy. Riley was a guy that has all kinds of things in common with Cassidy, things that start to cause them to run into each other. It’s not long before you know what his problem is. One of the most fascinating characters is Cassidy’s new yoga teacher, Amarleen. She’s a sort of higher being, but still of the Before, and not part of the After, although she knows Noah. I am still not really sure what exactly she is, and that was okay.
I enjoyed the unique premise, and really liked all of the different characters. The romance was sweet and pretty close to being G-Rated-necessary since Cassidy is leaving soon. This authors idea of what the After Life looks like was pretty fascinating-another plus for this book. There’s a lot of talk about energy. A lot. At times I got a bit lost in all the talk about it, but I just kept reading and didn’t stress about it. Not a major problem, and really the only thing that bothered me even a bit about the read. Other than that, it was a really quick, and fun read for me.
Recommended to young adult readers, 14+ to adults.

I liked this little livre, a really cute little romantic read, and a touch of supernatural...! Cassidy will die in seven weeks, and she is aware of this because she is a second timer. Her first life was as Anna Merrick, a young starlet whose life was cut short because of a cosmic accident; her love David was never to meet her and hurt her. He was a second timer that should have never met her, wrecked her life. Noah is her 'advisor' in the Life after, who gives her all this information and sends her back to help someone this time around. They must meet daily to upkeep her energy.
She meets cutie Riley at a local concert in LA, and again on the street and in a record store. He takes her out when he learns of her upcoming 18th birthday; he seems to take a lot of her energy. Noah sends her to an enlightened yoga teacher, where she meets her ex bestie, Selena, working there. Her auntie from hell shows up on her doorstep, fuming because Cassidy has cancelled her enrollment in Harvard, as she knows she will die soon. Noah tells her she is there to help Riley with his energy dead spot, so he can move forward and have the life he's meant to. To love her even though she will die, like his ex Amanda did. If she fails he has to come back as a second timer. He needs to develop his energy enough to get to the Life After.
They see each other a few more times, and quickly fall in love with each other. Cassie's aunt apologizes. Agonizingly, her time winds down as they have their last few dates; video games, star gazing, movie watching. Tearfully, she goes to the beach where she need to be. She is ready to go... and then she sees David. It is how it's supposed to be, says Noah. The more she connected her energy to Riley, the more his energy became free from where it was bound. His wrong was set right, by her. Pardoned, healed, time served; to go to the Life After. Today was the day that she freed David, in doing so, she gets to STAY! And finish out her loving life with Riley!!
And they lived happily ever after; aww! I liked this lovely little read, 150ish pages; a great little concept. Kudos to Canadian writer Ms. Farwell also. Perfect summer read; grab it for by the pool and finish in less than a day!

Every once in a while I find a book that's not well known, but have luckily stumbled upon. I found it on Amazon and the cover really drew me in. Seven Weeks to Forever is just that kind of book. It's like a rare jewel that has been hidden in a box diamonds.
I found myself glued to the pages and loving the world that Jennifer has created. Cassidy's perspective was very enjoyable, but I have to say that my favorite characters ended being Riley and Noah. I just loved those guys. This was a wonderfully unique novel about reincarnation, the after life, the ultimate act of true love and second chances.
"Thank you," I murmur, my voice coming out muffled since my face is pressed into his shoulder. I feel him put his arms around me.
"Welcome back to life." ~ Cassidy and Noah

As I finished reading this book yesterday I was faced with a major panic how on earth was I going to get across to my readers all that makes this book so good. It is a love story which is easy enough to convey but it also deals with the after life and the consequences of our actions, and this is what I need to tell you about today.
Seven Weeks to Forever is first of all a gorgeous looking book, I was lucky enough to receive an actual physical copy, the cover was gorgeous and I know it sounds daft but the book feels nice too, so big thumbs up for the paper that makes it up!!
Anyway I need to concentrate on the inside!, the book is told from the POV of Cassidy Jordan, seventeen at the beginning of the book, recently moved to LA, she has seven weeks to live, she will die a few weeks after her eighteenth birthday, she is not scared, she has been expecting this.
Cassidy has been here before and she has been sent back from The Life After (what we know as the afterlife) to help a young man find his way after tragedy has struck him, that young man is Riley Davis and for the next seven weeks it is up to her to make him start living his life, if she fails Riley will die far too young and she will lose her right to return to the Life After, the only problem she has no idea how to turn his life around.
Cassidy and Riley's first encounters start off almost by fate as he comes to her rescue one night and they meet again shortly after in a record store, they seem drawn to one another and they are soon getting to know one another a lot better.
There is no way I can describe this book perfectly without giving away a lot of spoilers and I hate spoilers, I haven't read the third book in a huge recently at the cinema trilogy because I accidentally read a spoiler in a review which just literally spoiled the whole thing for me.
Seven Weeks to Forever is such a great read what I can say about the rest of the book is this, Cassidy know she has to get Riley back on the right path and when she does he will live a long life and she will return to the Life After however a problem arises, actually a couple of problems, the first is the reintroduction of Cassidy's ex-best friend Selena who is not happy to see Cassidy at all, the second? Well Cassidy did not think she would start fall for Riley and as she helps him she knows that she is going to lose him in order to help him.
It is a great read, I haven't done it justice here at all! But I hope this is enough of a taste for you to go and try it for yourself!
Seven Weeks to Forever is awarded 5 out of 5

The 50 Prompt Eighth Doctor Reading Challenge - Companions & Allies - 18) A Book About Redemption Or Second Chances (For Helen Sinclair)
I thought this had a decent idea, I was quite excited to see how it would develop, but in the end, it was just a really bland sort of book. The characters all kind of remained one dimensional and the world building was so vague. It's like the author dedicated so much time to trying to explain the book's version of the afterlife that it neglected the romance between Cassidy and Riley, but the explanation was poor.

Seven weeks to forever by Jennifer farwell
The blurb
Cassidy Jordan knows she'll die a few weeks after her eighteenth birthday, and she can't wait. This is her second time here, and she knows what's waiting for her in The Life-After — the place most mistakenly call "the afterlife." Getting back there is supposed to be easy: she just has to find nineteen-year-old Riley Davis and help him get his life on track. But doing that isn't easy at all. By the time Cassidy finds Riley, she has only seven weeks to help him before her time is up. Riley will die too young if she fails, and she'll never see The Life-After or have another chance at life again. But no one told her helping Riley would mean dating him; she hasn't dated anyone since the love of her first life caused her death the last time she turned eighteen. And no one warned her she'd cross paths with Selena Jensen, her ex-best-friend who hasn't forgotten why their friendship ended and is protective of Riley. Then there's Cassidy's family, who thinks she's a normal girl headed to Harvard in the fall. When her aunt discovers that's not the plan, she shows up to try and drag Cassidy from L.A. to Boston. Helping Riley is already hard with her aunt and Selena in the way. It's almost impossible when Cassidy realizes she's falling for him and is faced with a choice: give Riley the life he's meant for and leave when it's time, or give up eternity for the true love she's never had, knowing Riley will die the same way she did in her first life and that her entire existence could end at any time.

Original Review @ Naomi’s Reading Palace
4.5 Stars
I grabbed Seven Weeks to Forever when it was on sale because I loved the cover and the description had me hooked! What would I do if I knew I was going to die and had a chance to help someone before I left? I would think that I would help, but who knows what could happen! So of course I had to read it, to see what Cassidy had to do. It was such a beautiful read, and I was swept away with the fantastic writing and the story that Jennifer Farwell created.
When I first met Cassidy, she seemed quite closed off. She knew the date of her death and had pushed most people away, because she didn’t want to hurt them. She had started over in L.A. to put distance between herself and her Aunt and Uncle, but little did she know that the guy she needed to save lived there. The more time she spent with Riley, the more she opened up. He was able to get details out of her that most people haven’t been able to.
Riley, well he has his own history and I could see he was struggling with his feelings for Cassidy and what happened in his past. When these two were together, it was sweet: they would fumble through dates, say the wrong thing, but their connection became stronger.
What I really enjoyed the most was the second chance at life. Cassidy had already lived a short life before; this was her second chance and she was able to help someone before she left. She had an advisor, Noah, a kind of angel who helped her after she died, and he would appear out of nowhere to guide her on the right path. This whole aspect of what happens next, after we die, intrigues me. Just imagining that I may be able to come back, and what I would do if I could is just mind blowing!
I loved the way Jennifer Farwell pieced this story together. Cassidy gave me glimpses to her past, as well as being Anna, so I was able to understand her better. I could fell Cassidy’s frustration with the decisions that she had to make and the love she felt for Riley. It was a beautifully written journey of a girl trying to make things right before moving on to the Life After.

This review can be found on GenGen's Book Blog after January 8.
Seven Weeks To Forever was not what I expected. I don’t know why I thought that it wasn’t going to be that great when I started. I enjoyed it more than I thought I was going to. This story is about life and the second chances that are rarely given to us.
I instantly fell in love with Riley’s and Cassidy’s witty banter and serious conversations. Everything was beautiful and easy to understand—it was a light read that I enjoyed a lot. I am a Christian (Seventh-Day Adventist to be exact) so I don’t believe in The Life-After. I do believe that God will come for us one day and every eye on this planet will see Him but I don’t believe that once we die, our spirit lingers in The Life-After. With this thought in mind, I still enjoyed the book because it wasn’t something that was forced upon the reader to believe in.
I was so frustrated with Cassidy’s aunt that I was about to dive into the book and hit her but then she did a 180º and explained her reasons and I guess they are understandable so I forgave her. I wish Cassidy and her aunt had gotten more time together with this new-found relationship but I didn’t get it and I was very sad about it.
I guess I was expecting the ending because I wasn’t really surprised but it made me cry happy tears a little and I felt so happy, I wanted to jump up and down.
Seven Weeks To Forever was not what I expected. I don’t know why I thought that it wasn’t going to be that great when I started. I enjoyed it more than I thought I was going to. This story is about life and the second chances that are rarely given to us.

Words cannot describe how much I loved this book! I realize that the subject matter is one in which many people may have a difficult time being interested in, however, this book was so well written I truly feel like no matter what your personal beliefs, in some way, shape, or form you can relate to it. Cassidy Jordan was formerly a part of The Before, where she lived her life as Anna Merrick. A love with a man named David, where his actions interfered with her fate, led to her death at the age of 18. Because of David's choices, Anna must return to The Before, as Cassidy Jordan, with the stipulation that she must finish an assigned task. If she does, she will be allowed into The Life-After and she will right the wrongs which David committed. Part of Cassidy's assignment is to meet Riley Davis. He's been through a tragedy that changed him and it's her job to help him work through it, forever altering their life courses.
I loved the interactions between Cassidy and Riley. While some may think the storyline seems far fetched, Jennifer Farwell does a wonderful job of creating likable characters with a story that flows effortlessly. This was truly a great read!!

One of the best books I have read on Wattpad.
It's easy to fall in love with the characters. Cassidy and Riley have some adorable moments that make me want to fangirl. Yet, in the first meeting with Riley I hated him as much as Cassidy did. Eventually though, it's easy to fall in love with him. The way I felt the exact same emotions as Cassidy towards Riley shows how much I connected with our female lead, the second timer.
The way Jennifer Farwell imagines the life-after or the afterlife or Hades (like I prefer) is not that far off from the traditional perception, yet has a uniqueness to it. The idea of death, for once didn't seem so bad.
When I first picked the book I was sceptical. I mean I have never before read a love story in which one of the two people involved is dead and is going to die as soon as she confesses her love. The idea that she remembered her previous life and how she died in it along with the fact that she is completely aware of the details of her death in current life. She's technically committing suicide man. However, leaving behind all the initial doubts and weirdness I associated with the book, it was pretty darn amazing. Cassidy is a normal teenage girl! She attends concerts, listens to rock bands, is awkward just like the rest of us. She's just like us for a moment and the next she is a girl who can look at our energies? Creepy, right? Nah. Enticing!
This book is worth your time just like it was worth mine.

Check out my blog post for a Q&A with Jennifer Farwell!
*I received a free copy of Seven Weeks to Forever in exchange for an honest review*
The Review
Seven Weeks to Forever by Jennifer Farwell follows Cassidy, a newly high-school graduate spending the summer in LA before going to college at Harvard in the fall. Well, at least that’s what her Aunt & Uncle think she’s doing. In reality, Cassidy is a second-timer sent back to “The Before” in order to help someone so that she can return to “The Life-After.” Riley, her assignment, is a nineteen-year-old boy Cassidy finally finds with seven weeks left to save him. Cassidy has to get his life back on track in order to save him from dying too young and for her to return to the “Life-After.” She just never realized that would entail having to date him. Cassidy hasn’t dated anyone since the love of her first life caused her death the last time she turned eighteen.
On top of that, Cassidy also has a run in with her ex-best-friend, Selena Jensen. Selena hasn’t forgotten their past and is protective of Riley. Plus, Cassidy has to also deal with her Aunt & Uncle once they find out that she isn’t going to Harvard in the fall. They have no idea that Cassidy isn’t a normal college-bound girl.
But the biggest obstacle Cassidy faces is the fact that she’s falling for Riley and is now faced with a choice: give Riley the life he’s meant for and leave when it’s time or give up eternity for the true love she’s never had, knowing Riley will die the same way she did in her first life and that her entire existence could end at any time.
What will she choose?
What I really enjoyed about this novel the most is the overall them of love. Interwoven themes of death, vulnerability, and growth also appear throughout the novel, but the focus of love overcoming many obstacles is what I really enjoyed reading about. Cassidy has a lot of decisions to make throughout the novel. Some decisions are not just life-altering for her, but also for Riley. Seeing how love played a part in some of these decisions as well as in the growth and characterization of Cassidy was not only enjoyable, but thought-provoking as well.
Cassidy has a lot to learn during her second time back. She has closed herself off to making connections with people because of her heartbreak in her first life as well as the knowledge that she’ll be leaving for the “Life-After” soon. When she meets Riley she’s a little blindsided that she likes him and it’s so great to watch their relationship develop. Cassidy grows a lot in this novel and I always enjoy great characterization and growth in any novel ;)
I also enjoyed how “fate” seemed to play a role in this novel. Like some things were meant to happen or how once decision can lead to certain outcomes: Cassidy running into Riley for the second time. Of course Cassidy and “fate” had some help from Noah and the mysterious white feather leaving being, but it was still cool to watch this concept and theme play out within the novel. I’m a huge believer in Karma and fate, so it was great to see something similar play out within a story.
The secondary characters within Seven Weeks to Forever also played some key roles. Noah, Selena, and David all play a role in Cassidy’s mission and decisions. Noah was definitely a favorite of mine :) Strong secondary characters aren’t always present in a novel and I feel like Farwell did a great job of writing hers.
Overall, I definitely recommend picking up this novel. It’s a great YA worth reading and has both character growth and romance. If you’re looking for a good contemporary read with a little bit of paranormal, I’d definitely add this to your TBR pile or bookshelf!

This was a different take on the afterlife or as the story calls if life-after.
Cassidy is on her second life (second-timer) to redeem a mistake made when she was Anna. She had fallen in love with a second timer who broke the rules to be with her, this caused her to die before her time. Now why she has to make up for this is explained but I still didn't understand why until the end.
She has always known she would be orphaned at 6 and that she will die a few weeks after turning 18. But before that she needs to find Riley and help him get his life on track.
With 7 weeks to go she finally finds him and learns she must have him fall in love with her to get over his grief of losing his gf.
She knows this sounds horrible because then he'll lose her too but what she doesn't expect is to fall for him too. She contemplates breaking the rules to stay with him. But if she chooses that when she dies her soul will disappear forever which is what happened to David.
Her aunt plays a role in it and at first I hated her. Things with her work out better though. Selena's role didn't really seem to matter much. She has 2 or 3 scenes and is in some memories but she didn't really affect the story.
I loved the ending. I knew she would do the right thing but I never expected it to end the way it did. The whole story was just written great even if I was confused about why she has to do this for most of the story. The explanations about our energy and how it works are wondeful The ending was just beautiful.

Farwell has produced a beautiful novel with Seven Weeks to Forever. The storyline is really different from your typical Romance novel, where two characters fall in love, but for them to achieve a happy ending, they will, in turn, no longer be together. Farwell’s characters are really likeable and very well developed throughout the novel. It is easy for the reader to connect to them and become gripped to their story.
I love all the twists and turns that Farwell offers up throughout the story to keep the reader on their toes. Cassidy is often faced with some difficult decisions which will have a major impact on both her future (in the Life-After) and Riley’s. There is a rollercoaster of emotions through the story which Farwell portrays beautifully – from first love to fear. I couldn’t wait to reach the end to find out Cassidy’s decision to the ultimate choice – give Riley the full life he was destined for, or fight for even a small amount of the true love she never had and risk losing Riley too soon.
Seven Weeks to Forever is my first Jennifer Farwell novel, and I would definitely look forward to reading more from her. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good Romance story with a bit of a twist. It draws the reader deep into Cassidy’s world and makes you look honestly at yourself and wonder, what would I do if I was Cassidy?

Cassidy is living her second-life on earth and she is well prepared for death the second time around , but in order to go as it wasn't supposed to be her time the first time around she must complete one task. Her task is to help Riley Davis to re-open his heart, rediscover love and move on with his life as like Cassidy did when she was Anna - she feel in love with a second-timer named David and it hurt her when he died so much she died herself. Riley's ex-girlfriend Amanda was a second-timer and now Riley has closed himself off to the world in grief. Can Cassidy help Riley to re-discover his love in life and all before the seven week mark is up as if she doesn't then they will both be stuck on Earth and Cassidy will not get another chance to enter the Life-After , not the After-Life.
What will happen though when Cassidy finds herself falling head over heels for Riley ? Can she play along with the charade knowing she will be gone in Seven Weeks -the same way Amanda died will be her death ? Can Cassidy allow herself to let Riley go through all that pain again ?
This was a really good read that in parts had you wondering what was going to happen next and readers believe me when I say that I didn't see that ending coming as I was wondering how they were going to play out the end of the book with the days coming closer and closer.

I easily got lost in the story of Anna, an 18 year old girl who died but was sent back to life ("The Before) as Cassidy to help a boy in order to be allowed in the Life After (what we call the after-life). When the two fall in love, Cassidy has to decide if she really wants to go to the Life After if it means leaving Riley alone in The Before.
I find theories about what happens after we leave this world fascinating and so I absolutely loved the concept of this book and thought the author did a great job in following through. I've had too many experiences not to believe there is "something else" after we leave here and so I found the reality that the author created regarding the Life-After and The Before easy to embrace. I loved the characters Cassidy and Riley as well as Cassidy's spiritual guide Noah. I thought the romance was sweet and appropriate for the Young Adult genre yet not so innocent to be unrealistic. I would have liked a bit more information/background regarding the first 18 years of Anna's second life as Cassidy and a bit more development of her relationship with her aunt and uncle who raised her, but it did not take away from my enjoyment of the story. I really liked it and highly recommend the novel to fans of Young Adult and paranormal!

"Just listen to your heart instead of your fear."
This is the story of Cassidy. Her first life ended before it was meant to so she's sent back with a job to complete. She has to succeed because that's her ticket to the Life-After, and she even knows the exact date that she'll return to the happy glow of that life. The catch? She has to help Riley overcome an emotional obstacle, and she wasn't expecting that to involve dating him.
I really liked this book overall. I found the writing (& editing!) solid, the story engaging, the main characters likeable, some of the conversation to be infused with great humor. It made me care.
There were a couple of things that ended up being murky for me though. I never really understood the logic behind the consequence she would endure if she didn't succeed. It's not like she was the personification of "evil" in her first life, so why the harsh parameters? The ending itself, while emotionally fulfilling for me, left me a scratching my head a bit to get everything lined up in a way that completely made sense mentally / intellectually.
"In those moments after you open up, do you also take a step back?"

~~I received this in exchange for an honest review~~
This is a great book. After I finished reading this book, I was in a book hangover. I haven't read a book in a long time that had that effect on me. I laughed and cried in this book. My heart was aching for Cassidy because of the decisions that she had to make in her life. She has to save another person for her to be free of her life, the kicker is, she only has 7 weeks to accomplish this.
I read this book quickly. I couldn't put it down. I just had to know what was going to happen and what decisions Cassidy was going to make. This book makes you look at everything that you have in your life. Whether it is good for you or if that one fight you had with your best friend was really worth losing them over.
I love the writing that Jennifer does with this book. She steps out of the normal style and uses that to her advantage. She uses death as a coping mechanism, and a way to get everything in order. I am a fan of hers and can't wait to read what she writes next!

This review was first published at M's Bookshelf - http://mssbookshelf.blogspot.be
What an amazing book. Cassidy is such an interesting person, not to mention intriguing. Her past, her mission,... From the very first page Jennifer Farwell keeps you captivated. Mentions of "the after life" or anything spiritual like that might scare some people off at first (I know I'm always a bit apprehensive), but Seven Weeks To Forever is definitely a story everyone could enjoy. Personally, the book had next to nothing to do with spirituality or anything like that: it's a love story first and foremost. The connection she has with Riley is just so real, so beautifully told... I got completely lost in the story. Seven Weeks to Forever is a wonderfully sweet and original love story. I'm definitely watching out for more Jennifer Farwell!

This was a fascinating read; I didn't expect to love it as much as I did. The concept felt very real to me, that just maybe there IS a before life and a life-after and I wonder what life I'm in? Am I a second timer or is anyone I know in my life? I like Cassidy a lot and I thought the author made her very real. The book is well-written and a real page turner. I think the book will do very well and become popular, and it would be a good book club discussion book! I recommend this book, and will look for others by this author. This book will stay with me for a long while, and I'm pretty sure I will be reading it again, to get even more out of it the second time, as I ponder what happens in the next life.

I found this a very enjoyable book, with some quite interesting theories. However, I cannot completely suspend my disbelief to say that it could actually happen, because conceivably there must be so many of these second-timers floating around our world if it could. I think it would be hard to sustain a secrecy of such magnitude if there were so many of them.
I did for a while think that Riley must actually be David, there were suggestions of this, and I assume they were planted to make me think that. But I'm pretty satisfied with the way that the story was resolved. It was a lovely story, if somewhat unbelievable the way that Riley and Cassidy's relationship progressed quite tamely.

The author does such a great job of capturing first love (which can be hard enough to navigate even when there isn't a time limit and such high stakes). I laughed and cried and couldn't wait to find out how what would happen between Cassidy and Riley. This book reminds you that often times in love and life you have to make choices and sacrifices, but there isn't much that is more powerful than first love. It's such an interesting premise and was written so incredibly well, I could totally see it being a movie. I absolutely loved this book and wished it would last forever!

I liked this book alot & would like to have a book 2. I liked how the book started with Noah & Cassidy sitting on clouds and discussing life. How is going to be starting over with a new family & getting asecond chance. Cassidy, lived life by pushing everyone away, until Riley, her and Noah going back and forth between each other was funny at times. Riley, having Cassidy questioning everyone & everything was also funny and very serious attimes. Thesetwo had definit chemistry. Dont want to give to much info but this is a book I would definitely recommend & reread.

DO you believe in Love? After reading this I definitely do! I have to say this has been one of the best books I have read in a while. I believe in angels and that they are everywhere. Now whether people can come back as one but in human form, i'm not sure; but this was a feel good story all the way to the last page. It's not often I can finish a book with a smile on my face, but this one led to sweet dreams after finishing! I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a feel good read. Jennifer Farewell - a job well done! I can't wait to see what she dose next!!

I started reading yesterday, and I planned to just read for a half hour or so…. Well, that didn't happen. I was unable to put this book down until I finished it…. And even then, as I got to the last page I wished it was longer. I really loved this book! There were so many components to the story…. Love (past and present), Life, and The Life After….. and they all flowed perfectly to make for a wonderful book. I loved the characters, especially Noah and Aunt Sarah!

I really enjoyed this book!
When I began to read this story I wasn't sure what to expect. I was happily surprised that it was an easy book to get into. I liked the idea of how this book portrays death and the afterlife or rather the life after. It was an easy read, I finished it in one day, one sitting! I look forward to reading more from this author.

I look forward to reading more from this author.

This book is an absolutely amazing read! Jennifer Farwell has done a beautiful job capturing the personalities of her characters and she presents them in such a realistic fashion. I'm happy to have received this book in a goodreads giveaway. I will be passing it along to my friends in the hopes that they will enjoy it as much as I did.

A nice read
This book is a nice light read. Great to read after an ugly cry book. It puts you back into focus on what matters in life. You never know what's gonna happen so don't take anything for granted.

A great love story
I highly recommend this book to be read by young and old. I think we all can learn a lesson through this book. Love is often taken for granted when we need all need to learn to cherish it a lot more.
