Fast paced, suspenseful, a 37 week pregnant woman goes to ikea and there is a massive earthquake. Terrifying!

My favorite TJR read so far. This “romance” about a group of astronauts is not really a romance or about outer space. It’s about love and what matters most in life and the ending was exquisite!

I picked this backlist book up after hearing about the author’s recent passing. It was hilarious and sweet and sad and storytelling at its best.
