One might not think a main character in a coma for 3/4ths of the book could be interesting. That would be because one does not know the author, Kristin Hannah, very well.

Any story containing this quote must be thought provoking:
“Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward.” -Søren Kierkegaard

What would you do if you could only remember the first half of your life? Though the main character is Mikaela, her husband, Liam, drives the plot. As a doctor, he is well aware what a coma can mean, particularly the longer it lasts. His journey, where he feels love slipping away, is nearly as compelling and his wife's.

I actually think Mikaela's mother, Rosa, brings more spiritual depth to this story than anyone, despite her own inability to overcome her past. And her daughter's.

Overall, read this book! If nothing else, you'll learn what it might be like to marry a movie star. Or have a first love you can't overcome.

Loved this book but needed a box of tissues to get through it. Wonderful reading!
