Full of empathy and charm, the characters face real life, broken relationships, and emotions of happiness, sadness, tragedy, and betrayal —infused with love, friendship, and community. Also, becoming wiser on the other side and second chances. All across the USA, people are showing up dead. The deaths don't appear to be connected in any way until one particular death occurs and gets the Secretary of Defense's attention. He arranges for a task force to investigate. Max’s POV was well-done. I have no sympathy for him or Anya. However, the execution molded the character very well. It was impactful, more than Tress or Noah’s POV.

In the final moments of 1999, they decide they’ll go their separate ways, however at the last second, she wavers. Should she stay or should she go? Over the next twenty years we follow the parallel tales to learn if Liv’s heart, life, and future have been better with him. Or without him?There are numerous perspectives in this book and several main characters. I thought it would be confusing but the author started with a character overview section, which must have helped because I was never confused. I think she named the characters well enough too to eliminate confusion. Four POV — We meet two couples: Tress and Max Walker and their friends Noah and Anya Clark. Their lives change forever in the span of a few hours. To summarize, One Day With You is a heartwarming read that handles multiple themes with a deft touch. I look forward to reading more by the author. With or Without You” is a stand alone novel that was released in the year 2018. Two stories, two lives. One decision is going to change it all. Have you ever made a life altering choice before wondering if you had made the right one? I did find myself confused at times, forgetting who was married to who, but the cast list at the start was so helpful!

When Tress Walker waved goodbye to her husband, Max, on his way to a conference, she had no idea that soon she would be going into labor. When her water broke and contractions began, she could not reach her husband. He was not answering her calls. What nobody knows is somewhere out there Colm left messages for them that could set them free and allow them to start over once more. Can divine intervention help them out to locate Colm’s last wishes before it becomes too late to love again? MY THOUGHTS: I am really torn about this book. On one level, I loved it. I loved the drama, the tragedy, the love, the humour. On another level, I found it repetitive in many places, and occasionally flat. There were instances where I felt I was being 'told' instead of experiencing things. While “women’s fiction” is not my go-to genre, I liked this book a lot more than I thought I would; I didn’t want to put it down. I particularly enjoyed the humorous bantering among the widow and her friends, women “of a certain age.” Shari Low weaves a great tale. My first five star read of the year.Whose heart will be broken by nightfall? It started like any other day in the picturesque village of Weirbridge. Beginning Feb 9th, 2023 @ 8-10 am. Sigh...I expected a lot from this, but so far I only learnt that no one becomes happy except for one elderly couple in this book. That is it. And that life is only but one sad metaphor of existentialism. Well Shari Low does it again. Absolutely loved this book, didn’t want it to end! I actually felt as though I was in the row behind them.
