My life is perfectly fine.

Alex has pretended this for years―despite an emotionally absent father, a best friend drifting away, and a floundering dog-training business. At least Alex has her sister, Meredith, a driven polar opposite. But both their lives are upended when their estranged mother dies of a genetic condition that the sisters have a fifty-fifty chance of inheriting. For Alex, a world without her mother is uncomfortable. But a world without Meredith is unthinkable.

Alex suggests a pact to which Meredith tentatively agrees: In three months they’ll get tested. Until then they go after everything they’ve ever wanted. Alex is finally stepping out of her comfort zone and opening herself up to new relationships. Or maybe reconnecting with an old one. Nathan, a boy who once broke her heart, needs a trainer for his mixed-breed rescue. Alex can’t resist.

As sparks rekindle, and time passes much too quickly, Alex discovers more about herself, her sister, and her mother than she ever imagined. And that everything in life―especially happiness―comes with a risk worth taking.

My Thoughts:

This is a story about how life can change in an instant. Alex and her sister Meredith are complete opposites but when their mum dies, the sisters never realised how much of an impact it would have on their lives, especially when they find out that it was a genetic condition that took their mum away. The girls have a 50-50 change of inheriting it. So they decide they are going to do everything they have ever wanted to do and go with the flow and forget about it for three months and then get testes. But what does it mean for the sisters? and can they ever truly forget about it for three months? it was a whirlwind of a story, it is thought provoking and tense, but full of love and the great thing of having a sister beside you every step of the way. It was a good read.
