I found this author through the hockey series. After listening to this, I have witnessed how much she has grown as an author and storyteller.

[@CindyGunderson]

Thank you so much!! This was one of my very first books!! I definitely see HUGE improvements in my writing (but I still love these stories!)

[@trying3058]

I love this book! I love how it weaves in and out of the characters lives. I thought this would be a fun lighthearted book but it is so much more. The book was well written and narrated perfectly. ❤

[@CindyGunderson]

I'm so glad you loved it!! Thanks so much for letting me know!

[@phyllisinocencio302]

Been listening to audiobooks for about 4 yrs since my sight went bad and this is one of the best stories I have listen too. It would make a great movie! Thank you for all your awesome audiobooks!!

[@CindyGunderson]

Definitely needed an entire box of kleenex for this one. Mike lived every single moment like it was his last. I love how the author showed how Mike impacted each of the friends and family members in his life. It's such an amazing story! 💖

[@CindyGunderson]

🥹🥹🥹 This is one of my favorites - I'm so thrilled you loved it!!

[@manda92677]

This book has definitely shown me how impatient I am because it’s been killing me not to fast forward to wherever A & E get their 💩 together. 😂

[@CindyGunderson]

Haha!!! Oh my gosh, this made me LOL!!

[@lolobobo886]

. . .I did😅😅😅 I tried so hard, got past halfway😂 then skipped to the end and all the sudden there’s a kid

[@CindyGunderson]

LOL!!@@lolobobo886

[@thinam4]

LMAO! A kid?? I'm struggling here! I won't skip, I won't skip, I will not skip! 😂

This audio book did my heart so good. I have been isolating myself since my uncle passed a year a half ago. Between 2020 & 2022 I lost over 4 family members. My mom’s brother’s who were like fathers to me. Two of my 4 relatives passing within 45 days of each other. I have been questioning life and what the point is of even doing things if we are just going to drop dead one day. But listening to this has given me new perspectives. THANK YOU!!!! ❤

[@CindyGunderson]

🥹 I'm SO glad to hear this! Yes, you matter. The littlest things matter! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@ruthmadre4106]

What a great story. It took a bit for my brain to understand the flashback scenes and keeping all the characters straight. For me, that might work better in actually reading the book, as opposed to listening. I’ve listened to several of your books and have enjoyed them all.

[@CindyGunderson]

YES! I wondered if this was going to be an issue and even considered putting in an extra phrase or something. Hopefully it made sense after that initial transition! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@martakavaliauskaite4566]

Thank you so much for posting another of your lovelly and charming and warm audiobooks best wishes to you and your family

Touching and poignant ❤...thank you for another beautifully written heartfelt story 😍

You're so welcome!! Thank you - I'm so glad you loved this one!

[@jackieofalltrades6724]

I found your books like a week ago and this is my 6th audiobook of yours! (I really liked your hockey series, in particular the plot lines weren't cheesy yet kept the sweetness and reality of many healthy relationships.)

[@CindyGunderson]

YES! That's my goal with those books!! So fun...and so down to earth. I'm so glad you're loving all the books!!

[@jackieofalltrades6724]

@@CindyGunderson I love that! (being Canadian by birth, also doesn't hurt my affection for hockey lol). You're inspiring me to keep writing, thank you!

[@laineciccotti9748]

Thk U, another perfect “Pyramid of characters”. Mike, glorious Mike at the pinnacle, w/ his many many gifts left to those who had, had life-experiences interactions during his very short life. Beautiful thorough examination of each & his annual celebration of life to regroup & nurturing night of begin- -again. Loads of Joy, life lessons, heart wrenching conclusion in pictures….Cynthia you never disappoint.

[@CindyGunderson]

Thank you so much!!! 🥹

All the feels. Like you kinda know how it will end but the journey getting there is worth staying for the whole ride. Thank you for sharing your work.

[@CindyGunderson]

Yes!! Love that! Thank you so much :)

[@carlymc876]

I just finished the Blessing Giver series and now started this one and realized it is the same author. You are awesome at narrating..well done

[@CindyGunderson]

🥹 Oh yay!! I'm so glad you found my other books! Thank you so much! Hope you love it!

[@deemandesigns]

Your narrative skills are amazing

[@CindyGunderson]

Thank you!! This is so kind!!

[@janeschmidt9611]

Cindy, I very much enjoyed this story. Once I got all the characters figured out it was fun to listen to. My son’s name is Evan so that was special to me. 🥰

[@CindyGunderson]

I love this so much!!! Thank you for sharing, and I'm so glad you enjoyed!!

[@janstoll8881]

Loved this💕 Thank you

[@CindyGunderson]

Thank you so much!!! 😊

[@janelledudley3065]

This one might be my favorite!

[@CindyGunderson]

REALLY!?! This makes me so happy!!! Thank you for commenting!

[@genevievejackson1844]

Few chapters were confusing. I have to rewind if i missed something. Mike kissed Amanda. Then next chapter Amanda’s boyfriend is Colleen. Next, Evan had surgery. Then Alexis and Evan are together how did it happened?

[@CindyGunderson]

Each chapter is a year apart!! The book follows their lives for twelve years!

[@laineciccotti9748]

Easy to follow the threads of clues that reach each years circumstances…#1 clue to Mike’s mindset was his p/u of Amanda, her hostess gift poinsettia, the guest list run through he describes to Amanda; PHD’s, Engineers, Investors …that was coy! The erratic driver avoidance, then surprise very loud crash.

[@dyannwynn7021]

Beautiful book I really enjoyed it thanks for sharing

[@CindyGunderson]

You're so welcome!! Thanks for commenting!

[@sergiodawon6584]

[@CindyGunderson]

[@crystalstewart]

I'm in the middle of a book right now, but am sooooooo looking forward to this one! I'll probably get to it later today or tomorrow morning for sure. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@CindyGunderson]

Yay!!! I'm so excited for you!! Happy listening!

[@crystalstewart]

​@CindyGunderson this was such a different type of story than I'm used to from you. That being said it was so touching. I enjoyed all the ups and downs and the little snap shots of each year's passing. Thanks for sharing yet another if your lovely stories.

[@CindyGunderson]

This was actually one of the first romances I ever wrote back in 2020!! I just barely put it into audio. So my writing has changed a lot, but I'm so glad it touched your heart! I love it!

[@monty-365]

I actually was going to stop listening in the first few minutes…so much emotions…😢I didn’t think a romance book could be so emotionally intense…Duh Me🥺But I guess with Love comes tragedies, that morphs into Love🤷🏾‍♀️

[@CindyGunderson]

Yes!!! A friend told me grief and love are two sides of the same coin - you can't have one without the other!

[@winnieellis4305]

Good book but really drawn out

[@CindyGunderson]

Thank you!! This was one of the first books I ever wrote. I've learned a lot about pacing since then!! So glad you still enjoyed it ❤️

[@laineciccotti9748]

I object this review….
