BLOG TOUR - Our Song

DESCRIPTION:

He was the love of her life. He’s my husband.

Then: Ally

I didn’t think my heart could take it when David and I ended things. He was my first love, my everything. But as soon as he met Charlotte, I knew that nothing would ever be the same. We were friends once, me and her. But some things are too broken to fix… aren’t they?

Now: Charlotte

The hospital waiting room door flies open, and I look up desperately, willing somebody—anybody—to tell me that David is going to be alright. But it’s not a doctor. It’s Ally; her face pale, her hair wild. It’s years since we were close, but I’d know her anywhere. She loved my husband first, and I suspect still owns a piece of his heart that I’ve never managed to get back.

How did she hear about David? Why is she here? But then her eyes fill with tears. “It’s Joe,” she whispers, “my husband. He’s had an accident too. But they won’t tell me anything…”

Our husbands are fighting for their lives, and all we can do is wait. With the future so uncertain for us both, Ally and I begin to untangle the past. After all these years of secrets and hurt, has fate thrown us together again for a reason? One thing is certain: after tonight, nothing will ever be the same again…

From the bestselling author of Always You and Me, comes a completely heartbreaking and emotional page-turner about love, friendship and impossible choices. Perfect for fans of Shari Low, Colleen Hoover and Paige Toon.

MY THOUGHTS:

In a truly remarkable coincidence, Charlotte and Ally both rush to the hospital when their husbands, David and Joe, are admitted in critical condition. The situation is so dire that both are now in the intensive care unit. Years ago, Charlotte and Ally were acquainted. In fact, Charlotte’s husband, David, was once deeply in love with Ally. However, time has passed, and both couples are now happily married. 

Their stories are tragic. Joe is an absolute hero, and Ally is beyond devastated. David, a devoted husband, would do anything for Charlotte. Tragically, the lives of both men are in grave danger. Although the outcome was clear, this story is a poignant exploration of healing amidst heartbreak.

While waiting in the ICU for both Charlotte and Ally, the story unfolds in a relatively short span of time. However, flashbacks serve as a powerful tool to connect the dots, highlighting the significance of their husbands in their lives and the circumstances of their initial meeting. Throughout the book, there are moments that strike a chord, showcasing the incredible strength and transformative power of love.

Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Dani was born and brought up in Cockfosters- a small London suburb at the end of the Piccadilly Tube Line. 

This served her well for commuting into the city, where from the age of 18 she worked in a succession of secretarial positions in companies as diverse as a BMW car dealership to the BBC. Dani spent her two hour commute avidly reading and dreamed that one day she would become an author herself. 

When her two children grew up and left home, Dani set about turning this dream into reality and devoted her time to writing. She now lives in a rural Hertfordshire cottage with her husband, a soppy border collie dog and a haughty Siamese cat.

Her first novels FRACTURED (called THEN AND ALWAYS in the US) and THE STORY OF US published in 2014. In January 2016, her third novel, OUR SONG was published.
