The Moment of Now
Ben used to tell Ella everything. Now he’s not telling her anything. He can’t, because she won’t understand. Even he doesn’t. All he knows is he can’t keep doing this day after day, pretending everything is okay. He has to go … even though he has no idea where to.
No plan is sometimes an extraordinarily good one.
As Ella’s world unravels, she can’t help but wonder, how did she not see that something was wrong with Ben? And can one lie really undo everything?
The truth begins with ourselves, and the more courageous the question, the louder the heart will respond.

Boring!! Like the writer could not make a choice. Or you write a story. Or you write a self help book.

Usually a fan of Elizabeth Day, but good lord, this was metaphor after painful metaphor, thinly disguising pound-shop life advice. Compassion seems to be shown by the over use of a character's names when talking to them, and as for the 'big secret'? I've done worse than that today and haven't moved off the sofa.
Less than one star.

This book just lost its way. Very dull. Weak story line.

Absolutely boring, leaving it mid-way. I get that Ben had some frustration going on, but the manner in which Day has written it, the frustration seeps into you. I actually began feeling frustrated with everything and nothing just because of the dry writing of this book. Wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who reads for leisure.

Enough bad language that I didn't finish it
Very depressing beginning and bad language from the very first. I did not like plot or the card broad characters

June 23, 2021By page 48 I didn’t care about the moment, about now, about anyone involved in the story. Life is too short for me to waste my time on this.

Wonderful story!
I loved everything about this! It was so engaging and uplifting though one sad part sure hurt. I’m so glad I found it!

I finished it because I don’t like leaving books half finished but I wasn’t impressed. It was weak, tedious and a bit sickly sweet and I just wanted to give both main characters a good shake. At times it seemed that the author couldn’t decide if she was writing a self help book or a novel and the lines were blurred
