Vedrana Skuflic | 4 comments It is a roman. I read it around 10 years ago. The book starts when a girl Alex throws hereself in front of the car. She is in hospital but we go back in past and find out everything about her. Her husband died and she cannot live without him. His parents never accepted her because they werent same religion. She loved her granny the most. She was tuff in teenage years. She made a tattoo early and once she put her house on fire. She wasnt good in anything but her granny told her that she has a huge possibility to love and that is her gift. Please help me. Im searching for this book arounf 5 years. The book ends when she devides to die in hospital, with her last breath.

Vedrana, I added plot details to the header. Feel free to update it (and remove any spoilers) by clicking the small "edit" link after the header - using the full desktop website, not the mobile app.

Great! Glad you found your book, Vedrana. Yes, names are tricky to remember - our brains are too good at filling in the blanks.
