Nell has always known her expiry date.
After a psychic predicted her death date twenty years ago, she has lived life accepting she would never see forty – embracing adventure and travelling the world, choosing fun over commitment and laying down roots.
So, when the fateful day comes, Nell feels ready. She sends five excruciatingly honest confessions to her sister, parents and past loves, knowing she won’t be around to face the consequences. Then, with her heart laid bare, all that’s left to do is check into a glamorous hotel and wait for the inevitable…
But when Nell unexpectedly wakes up the next morning broke, single and very much alive, she must figure out exactly how to seize this second chance at life. And then it also hits her:
What on earth happens now that everyone knows how she really feels?
My Thoughts:
When Nell gets the harsh news twenty years ago that she will never hit forty by a clairvoyant, she has lived her life to the fullest, so near to the time she starts selling all her things and telling loved ones things she would not of said if she was to live. She has no way of knowing how it will happen but just that it will happen on this particular day. But for Nell it doesn’t happen this way or that way or any way really, she wakes up and is still on planet Earth much to her surprise. Then she realises things are not as they seem and it feels her with dread what she has said to her loved ones, will they be able to forgive and forget? It was one of those stories that is life affirming, it is thought provoking too. It was full of wit and funniness and it was a easy read that is the perfect pick me up.
