In this moving love story, three friends find out what it really means to save someone. A heart-stopping, heart-wrenching, and heartwarming story that kept me reading well into the night. Clare Pooley, New York Times bestselling author of The Authenticity Project, Kerry Smith is going to save live sand so is her best friend, Tim Palmer. After years of working toward medical school, they are about to take their entrance exams. But on the eve of the new millennium, a classmate goes into cardiac arrest, changing everything. For nearly eighteen minutes, rising soccer star Joel Greenaway is dead. For nearly eighteen minutes, Kerry performs CPR on her longtime crush. And for nearly eighteen minutes, Tim is too shocked to help. Though they don't yet know it, those eighteen minutes will change the next eighteen years of their lives. Because, as it turns out, saving a life doesn't always guarantee a happy ending. With his soccer career cut short, Joel lashes out and breaks Kerry's heart by ending their burgeoning relationship with a cruelty that derails her future, while Tim struggles to reconcile his dream of becoming a doctor with the reality of failing to act. As each struggles to move on from the events of that fateful New Year's Eve, their lives can't seem to stop colliding year after year.

growing up is not easy

Here is a novel that I had been meaning to read for a while; I am not at all sure what took me so long. Here is a story about three friends, their hopes, their realities and their interconnected lives. Tim, Joel and Kerry are schoolmates who are finishing up their educations. Tim and Kerry are taking their A levels and hope/plan to study medicine. Joel, on the other hand, is an upcoming football (soccer) star. A lot happens between this description and the very early events in the novel. What will happen to the three as they move into their post school days and life does not (always) cooperate? The interrelationships among Kerry, Joel and Tim are complex. Will they be able to help one another through? Those who have recently entered this stage of life will relate to this novel. Others who have passed through these developmental phases will either look back with nostalgia or be glad to be in a different life moment. This is a book about growing up. It is a story of trying to find one’s way. A note: The author shares that her husband’s life was saved when he received CPR. She is very much an advocate of people learning this procedure. Readers will see how this fits in with the story. Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing-Ballentine for this title. All opinions are my own.
