Review: The Book of Us By Andrea Michael #OneMoreChapter #HarperCollinsPublishing #NetGalley

She had to be able to look back at this as a time that was sacred, magical. There would be pain enough later.

Cass and Loll used to be inseparable. They met at university and they made sense, like two halves of a whole. They had planned their lives around each other, writing down their dreams in The Big Book of Our Life – the things they wanted to achieve, the places they’d go after they finished university. But then one night changed everything.

Seven years later, Loll receives a letter from her old friend. The coming year will be the year they both turn 30, but Loll might be making it to 30 alone. Cass has cancer. She wants to know if Loll still has The Big Book as her dying wish is to do everything they had planned. Little does Loll know that there is one big difference: Veronica, Cass’s six-year-old daughter, will be coming with them.

Time is ticking for Cass, who is desperate to make lasting memories for her young daughter and ensure that she’s leaving her in good hands. But how do you say goodbye to those you love most in the world?

An emotional and uplifting novel of friendship, love and the family you choose. Perfect for fans of Gill Childs, Amanda Prowse and Jojo Moyes.

The Book of Us By Andrea Michael 
Review by Heidi Lynn’s Book. Reviews

First, I want to thank Andrea Michael, One More Chapter, Harper Collins Publishers and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

The Book of Us by Andrea Michael is a book you are going to need your tissues for. I admit there were multiple times where I shed many of tears. This book definitely pulls on your heart strings.

Just the cover alone caught my attention with the sweet girl on the front cover holding the book. She represented Vee Cass’s daughter in the book. Kudos to the graphic artist who nailed the cover so spot on. 

In many books there is a character I am not a fan of. This one was Darren Lauren’s soon to be ex husband, committed infidelity many times, and did some terrible things. 

Vee was my favorite character in the whole book. She was Cass’s daughter and so adorable. 

Andrea did an amazing job with the two main characters Cass and Lauren with the struggles of their relationship in the past to the present. There was so much tension from the past but all that disappeared with this new fight Cass was fighting. 

This book makes you think about life, how life is short,how you should cherish your loved ones, and make memories with them while you still can.
