What a truly heartwarming and heartfelt book this is. If you want a story about taking lemons and turning them into lemonade then this one is for you.

Maggie is a beautiful, smart, successful woman who is dating her boyfriend chip who is also a successful guy and is also good looking. They almost seem too good to be true. Their parents are best friends and everyone's been rooting for them to get married throughout their life.

One day Chip wants to take Maggie out on a special day and unfortunately the surprise takes a turn for the worse and Maggie wakes up in the hospital. Maggie is already dealing with all of her injuries but then all of her past and future situations come back to the surface as well. Her sister who is been estranged for three years comes back, she has to deal with her PT, Ian, Who won't even laugh at a joke, she has to deal with Chip not exactly stepping up to the plate and she has to deal with her mom's constant nagging about becoming perfect again.

Something that I really loved about the story is that The worst can happen at any time in your life. You don't get to choose, it just happens. What you do get to choose how you deal with it and that's exactly what Maggie did. However the author didn't write it in a way that she just persevered the whole way through. There were times of struggle, depression, thoughts of giving up, etc. but that's how it would be in real life right?

This is just such a beautiful story of one woman's journey of how to make the most of life when the worst has happened. Things that you may have thought would have never happened end up happening. And things you had dreamed of all is happening may not be in the cards after all.

I definitely recommend picking this up if you haven't already and read it this summer. It's a fantastic story.
