Claire Fortune arrives in Boston with an old notebook and her best friend’s dying wish – to finish the scribbled bucket list that Hope didn’t have time to complete. Moment by moment, Claire builds a life she never dreamed of – until Theo walks into the coffee-shop one crisp September afternoon, and her careful plans scatter on the winds.
Sometimes a chance meeting can change a life forever.
Sometimes fate knows exactly what we need.
Perfect for fans of ‘Me Before You’ and ‘The Fault in Our Stars’, ‘The Promise’ brings together two people searching for a love that can overcome tragedy. A heartbreakingly romantic novel that challenges us to live – and love - every day as if it were our last.
Author Information
Hi! I’m Melody Grace, author of the bestselling Beachwood Bay series. Some things about me:
1 I’m a small-town girl turned California beach lover.
2 I spent my childhood with my nose in a book before deciding to try and write one myself. I love all kinds of genres – from thrillers to YA and mystery – but romance has always been a passion of mine.
3 I love pistachio ice-cream, vanilla lattes, bad action movies, and Grey’s Anatomy (yes, I’m still watching… I can’t quit!).
4 I have an uncanny sense of direction. I once drove halfway across Canada without GPS or a map!
5 I have two adorable rascal cats named Bucky and Steve, I rescued them as kittens, and yes, I spoil them rotten.
6 I’m allergic to chocolate 🙁
7 I love sexy, heart-felt reads with strong heroines and swoon-worthy men. Why don’t you check out a couple of my books and meet your new book boyfriends?
My review:
Wow! I don’t know how to write this review and it's one of those that is hard to review because of spoilers that can ruin this review for others. So I will do the best I can on my review. A 19-year-old girl, Claire Fortune decided to fulfil her best friend’s bucket list for her since she could no longer and to do that, she headed to Boston and its there she finds a new life, new place, new adventure and a new man. All these are things she has never had before in her life and she finds this is unsettling and confusing but she goes on to live her life and fulfil her best friend’s wishes. The new man is named Theo and he just comes into Claire’s life like a strong wind. He, too, is troubled but they are drawn to each other. I found their chemistry together is fantastic and hot. I couldn’t get enough of their interaction but I knew there was this huge secret that Claire was keeping. The buildup is coming and I was getting antsy as the story slowly continues to build up towards it.
Oh and the angst and heartbreak that is coming. I have to say, I cried buckets. Be prepared. Get tissues. I had to get up and walk away from my kindle a few times. The ending is one that I didn’t expect to happen. But we always cant have what we want and I think I would have liked more of a closure of an ending..which is why my rating is lower than I would normally give for a story like this. The author has a way about her writing and I loved her character building. Its how the ending went –would have liked more of a satisfying ending. Otherwise, good story with fantastic characters.
My rating: 4.0 stars ****
