Jamie Rhodes's Reviews > Living Again

Incredible, beautiful, amazing, heart filling....those are just a few adjectives that I can think of to describe this book. This was one of the best books that I have ever read.(and I have read a lot) The author described the characters in such detail that I felt as if I was there in the book with them. Kayley married her best friend, Alex, only for him to die a few years later. Kayley was devastated and was left expecting a child that Alex would never get to meet. Kayley's family and friends were a rock for her. I felt every emotion that Kayley did. You will need tissues when reading. I also suggest to not read this in public. You never know when something is going to happen in this book that will leave you breathless or leave your face streaked with tears. After declaring that love would not be in her future, Kayley meets Ben. Ben is an ER pediatrician. He falls for Kayley at once. He has to work hard to win her love. All I can say is that I WANT A BEN!!!!! Holy cow, could the author have made him any more perfect??? I know that he messes up during the book, but that's life. He is so romantic. The things that he does for Kayley and her daughter are swoon worthy. No guy ever stands a chance to beat his gestures. Sigh..... This book will take you on a journey filled with heartbreak, love, smiles, laughter, and friendship. I enjoyed how the author let us have a point of view from all characters. That was a stroke of genius. The playlist that goes with the book is phenomenal. I know the book was long, but I feel that the length was necessary to give us the remarkable story. The details made you love the book even more. Nothing was left unturned...well unless it was the identity of Rachel's love interest. I loved how Alex's family all rallied around Kayley and Ben. I can't imagine how hard it would be to lose a son and then have to watch another man be called Daddy. I also loved how Ben handled Kayley's memories and love for her husband. I know that I'm leaving things out about the book. I suggest that you read this.
