REVIEW
5 "In a Heartbeat" Stars
The Birthday List is my first read from Devney Perry and what a beautiful, emotional, honest, sincere, inspiring and up lifting read i got from a new to me author. Devney Perry you broke my heart and built it back up again in such a way as to give hope where sometimes you feel hopeless.
I honestly don't know where to start when it comes to this review. I want to tell you all the wonderful moments in this read and i also don't!
I want you to read and fall in love with this heartbreaking, soul finding read, about love, loss and finding peace and happiness again. When at one point you never thought you'd find the light again.
I was so drawn into Poppy and Cole's journey, i cried, i laughed and my heart broken right along with them. I just adored this book and all it's characters. I think it really says something about the authors writing skills, if that after you have finished a book each and every character you could easily discuss. Secondary characters are usually just that but with this book you could relate to each character. Weather it was on an emotional level or weather it got you thinking about how you would react in the same situation.
One of my favourite quotes from the book is this...
"The rest is still unwritten..."
just these simple words held so much for me about a persons future. Each day is a new page added to our own personal stories.
A beautiful story that i would most definitely recommend.
“I hear you’re saying yes to everything today?” I chased a bite of macaroni with some water.
She nodded, smiling again as she chewed.
“A guy could take advantage of that.”
Her chewing stopped and her blue eyes snapped to mine.
“Me, for example. I could use this to get exactly what I want.”
I didn’t miss the way her eyes flared, and damn, it was sexy. If things were farther along—if this were a year from now and we were in a different place—I could have used this game to have her moaning yes all night long. But we weren’t there, and I wasn’t a complete asshole.
But I did love to tease.
“Poppy,” I whispered, leaning closer.
Her breaths were shallow as she waited.
“Will you bring me both the mixed berry and the apple pie?”
She blinked twice, then a hand flew over her mouth—still full of salad—covering it as she laughed. “Yes.”
I grinned, sitting back in my chair and digging into my food. “Maybe you can tell me more about this list too? It seems like every time I see you you’re on to something new.”
Her hand fell. “You really want to know?”
“I really want to know.”
