Of Love & Tears

One Day With You by Shari Low is a beautiful, heartbreaking contemporary read that will tug at your heartstrings.

My emotions were all over the place as I read. It is a book that celebrates friendship, family and new life whilst mourning endings with regrets for what might have been.

Life is fragile. We get one go at it. One reckless mistake can destroy lives. Our choices need to be made well. We do not live our lives in isolation, our choices affect others for good or bad. We must let go of guilt and regret as they will destroy us from the inside out.

Family is so much more than blood relations. In the story, family are those who come to our aid in our darkest moments and also our happiest moments.

All the characters were realistic, likable and well-drawn. There are some huge, beautiful hearts. I love the neighbours in their sixties. Their banter is hilarious. Their kind hearts are vast and their capacity to love is huge.
