Dual narration- John York & Shakira Shute

This was great narration. Great accents.

This was a very interesting listen. Sophie experiences a major brain chemistry change after accident on her prom night. She can now she calculations of accidents and peoples deaths. There are parts that seem a tad hard to follow but it was a good listen overall. If your looking for something different this is it

I guess main characters that can see death dates or the numbers of days people have left to live is a whole trope now because I keep reading/listening to and loving these books.

After an accident on her prom night, Sophie can see numbers everywhere, including the number of days people have left to live. What happens when the man she loves, and has loved many years, has a number in the double digits?

This one was heart wrenching and heart warming. I loved the depth of the characters, both the main characters and the side characters. It is a story of growth, family, friendship, forgiveness and love. Get your tissues ready!

I read this book because I was curious about the main character’s ability. It seemed more like a burden than a gift, and that made the story quite sad at times. I felt sorry for the characters and everything they had to go through. The story focused a lot on how they were given a second chance to face their struggles and try to change their lives.

The writing was straightforward but didn’t really capture my attention. The pacing was slow, and there wasn’t much emotional connection for me with the characters. I found myself moving through the book without much excitement. The story was clear and easy enough to follow, but it didn’t really stick with me after I finished reading.

The themes about hardship and second chances were present, but I didn’t find the story very engaging. The characters’ struggles felt heavy but distant, and I didn’t feel invested in their outcomes. I think this book might be more appealing to readers who like slow, thoughtful stories and don’t mind a lack of strong emotional moments.

This audiobook really packs an emotional punch. The story deals with some heavy themes, and the emotional depth is handled beautifully. There were moments that genuinely hit hard, and the narrator did a great job conveying that vulnerability and intensity.

At the same time, I did find parts of the narrative a bit hard to follow, especially with the way the timeline or inner thoughts sometimes blurred together. It wasn’t enough to take me out of the experience entirely, but I had to rewind a few sections to stay on track.

Overall, it’s a powerful, moving listen with strong emotional resonance, even if it requires a bit more focus than usual.
The narrators did a fantastic job bringing the story to life.
