Description: Ira Levinson is in trouble, he finds himself stranded on an isolated embankment after a car crash. Suffering multiple injuries, he struggles to retain conscious until a blurry image materializes and comes into focus beside him: his beloved wife Ruth, who passed away nine years ago. She urges him to hang on till help arrives.
Sophia meets a young cowboy named Luke. Sophia is introduced to a world in which the stakes of survival and success, ruin and reward --even life and death. As she and Like fall in love, Sophia finds herself imagining a future far removed from her plans - a future that Luke has the power to rewrite....if the secrets he's keeping doesn't destroy it first.
Ira and Ruth. Sophia and Luke. Two couples who have little in common, and who are separated by years and experience. Yet their lives will converge with unexpected poignancy.
Review: This is quite possibly my favourite book by NS. Even though it is not based on a true story the book has a way of leaving you wishing you could experience the love that both couples have. It's a love that everyone should have the chance to experience.
Ira & Ruth
Two people that stayed together after everything that life threw at them. Ira's life hangs in the balance after he is involved in a car crash. While in and out of sleep he is visited by his dead wife Ruth who helps him to stay alive by talking through the memories that they made together. I like that he flashbacks to his life with Ruth and everything leading up to how he ended up in the car crash including when he gets rescued.
Luke & Sophia
Two people that fall in love in the unlikeliest of places. Luke and Sophia meet after Luke saves her from her ex-boyfriend who is a douche. They embark on a relationship where neither of them know what life will throw at them. Or where the relationship will take them. A love that is fresh and nice to see it growing up to the point where there lives change forever.
They are two different couples that are both entwined with each other without even knowing it. Ira & Ruth are the original couple while Luke and Sophia are the younger version.
I love the concept of this story and all the characters. It's a love story of all love stories. I love how it ended, it was the perfect ending which I think will please everyone.
My Rating: 5/5
Would I recommend?: Yes of course.
Till next time
