Many thanks to NetGalley, Park Row and Luke Allnutt for the opportunity to read and review his debut book - stunning. This book will tear at your heart and is so beautifully written.
Rob and Anna are two parents who aren't unfamiliar with loss or sadness. But they aren't prepared for the diagnosis they received for their son, Jack. This book follows that journey but is so much more. It's a love story - between parent and child, especially between dad and child, and between husband and wife. How far would we go to save someone, to have just one more minute of hope?
It's hard to believe that this is Allnutt's first novel but when you read that he is a cancer survivor, you know this is written from a place of truth. All of the characters were so real and the situations so realistic.
I loved the beginning notes of some of the chapters, which you won't fully understand until the end. Highly recommended but have tissues nearby!
