She grabs your attention and has you holding on to see what is going to happen .And you definitely want to know what is going to happen. Highly recommend reading this one guarantee you will love it.

What's authors' obsession with cancer and thinking it would be a good idea to put this awful disease in a romance book?

Oh how I love this author and truthfully I never thought I would love anything more then those awesome men from her Deadly Sins Series. Ugh I was wrong. If I could give this book more than five stars I would. This is a different kind of read from her but I will say it is hands down the BEST book she has ever written. Remy and Oliver are the most AMAZING characters who take me on one of the most emotional journeys. Yes I read this book in a night because I must devour a good story (yes it is an a

Rely and Oliver’s story
Ooh, I don’t know how to leave a review for this story. I felt for Remy’s character so much. I read a review on the book but that sums up my feelings for this story to the tea. I can’t remember who wrote it but I couldn’t agree more. I remember seeing my loved ones go through this battle and it saddens me. But you should fight to your last breath.
I enjoyed this book of the characters of Remy & Oliver. How they finally expressed their love for one another.

When I started reading this book, I was not sure I would be able to handle it because it touches on a sensitive subject; breast cancer. I have lost many aunts to cancer, and one actually passed from breast cancer so I knew I had to prepare myself emotionally to dive into this. The book opens with Remy finding out that she has an aggressive form of breast cancer, rather than seek treatment like her mother did prior to her life being taken by the horrible disease, she opts to forgo any type of int

I knew from the beginning that this book would rip my heart to shreds, but I read it anyways and I loved it! A beautiful story about, loss, heartache and pain, love and friendship, and learning to value oneself and “find their reason”.

Remy and Oliver are best friends and have loved each other since they were children. They have always been there for each other through the good times and the bad but been afraid to cross the line as they didn’t want to take a chance on jeopardizing their friendship. when Remy gets devastating news, it is a gamechanger and their relationship will never be the same.
The news shakes them both to the core and Oliver has decided that the one thing he doesn’t want is regrets so he is determined to sh ...more

I wish I could give this book more than 5 Stars. It was heartfelt, heartbreaking, a testament to true love and loving someone enough to be brave, face your own fears and possibly even let that other person go.
I loved Remy and Oliver. The lengths he goes to to show his best friend all the reasons why she’s important to him was amazing. This is one of the sweetest best friends/unrequited love stories I’ve read in I can’t remember how long. The words JM used to voice Remy’s fears and paint the pic ...more

Wow! I’m still kind of reeling from this story. It was completely different from any of Jennifer’s previous work, so make sure you’re strapped in tight before getting on this emotional rollercoaster of a ride because you’re going to need to be grounded.
It’s a beautifully told friends to lovers story, and as much as Oliver made my heart soar, there were times that I didn’t think I’d survive it. And yet in my despair, this ray of hope would shine through because of the love these two childhood fri ...more

Beautiful & heart wrenching
This book was a roller coaster of emotions. Having Remy deal with her diagnosis after everything she went through with her mom - the feelings and thoughts going through her head were sad and emotional to read, especially if you personally have gone through or know of a family member or friend that has gone through the same thought process. But Remy wasn’t alone - her bright light was her childhood best friend Oliver, who captured her heart with his ability to give her ...more

This is a new author to me, and my word, I will certainly be one clicking her other work. This story is a true inspiration to so many who have been dealt the same hand in their lives, and is written with such sensitivity that it is truly phenomenal. Remy and Oliver are both amazing characters who move on from friends / lovers. This is a beautifully written flawless story, which is emotional, heartbreaking, heartfelt, loving, gritty and all in all a powerful read. The 5 star rating does just not

Wow is all I can say
I read the reviews before I bought this book that said it was not your usual book. All I can say it blew me away. The love of Oliver was so beautiful. Remy was so brave. You couldn’t have asked for a better love story that touches your heart like this one. It really left an imprint on me.

Jennifer Miller is a new author for me and I can’t wait to read more of her work! Give Me A Reason was amazing! It was so beautifully written and had me in a full on ugly cry in the break room at work!! The story touches on so many different things and it just tugs at your heartstrings. Get the tissue ready!

Oh my Lord where to start...this book was absolutely heart wrenching. Remy is diagnosed with Breast Cancer and after watching her mother become a shell of herself, she decides that she can’t make herself go through what her mother did. She doesn’t want treatment. Oliver, her best friend, who has secretly been in love with her for years talks to her of his feeling and things become very tense. Remy decides to go forward with the treatments. Through all the treatments and surgeries Oliver is there
