If you could live forever, would you? What if you could live forever in your 20’s or early 30’s? What if you could live with the love of your life, but instead of just having one, you could have multiple? Multiple first kisses, getting to fall in love with “the one” with multiple people, never having to worry about death and if there really is anything on the other side?
Or would it be a nightmare? Living past all your loved ones. Never growing older with your spouse? Being forced to outlive your husband/wife, children, grandchildren, best friends, siblings, etc. Never living in one place too long because you know that you possess the “fountain of youth” and if anyone ever found out about it, then you would be subjected to one experiment after another, never being allowed to live a “normal” life?
No Less Days explores what being immortal could really mean. The story follows David Galloway, a man that has lived well over a century. He can never die and he feels isolated, both by his immortality and by his need to protect himself from others. However, one day he discovers that there is another like him. Another who can seemingly not die. He finds a kinship with another soul, one that he has not felt in a very long time. This relationship opens him up to other relationships that he thought were no longer possible.
Throughout this gritty yet fun novel, the author weaves in David’s complicated relationship with God. She does not shy away from the anger or confusion that David feels towards God. Nor does she pass over it lightly, as many authors tend to do so (seemingly) as to not offend anyone.
The story is fast-paced and exciting. It does slow down towards the very end, but don’t give up. It sets itself up for a sequel and you don’t want to miss that!
