Hi Justin,
First, thank you so much for such a wonderful compliment. I did actually cry a lot when I was writing it, which for me, is how I know that I'm hitting the emotions I'm intending to portray—when I really feel them too. Thank you for reading!(less)

Quotes by Colleen Oakley  (?)

“I suppose all couples feel this way at some point—that their bond is the most special, the strongest, the Greatest Love of All. Not all the time, just in those few and far between moments where you look at the person you’re with and think: Yes. It’s you.”
Colleen Oakley, Before I Go

“Science can’t explain why two specific people are magnetically drawn to each other instead of repelled. Only love can.”
Colleen Oakley, Before I Go

“Every human being—every single one of us—wakes up each morning hoping, believing, that today is not our day. Not our time. That the storm is not yet here. That our island will not be wiped out. That we will see the sunrise the next morning. That life is worth living. Otherwise, we wouldn’t bother getting out of bed.”
Colleen Oakley, The Invisible Husband of Frick Island

Colleen Oakley You are cracking me up! I love this! And I love that you are still thinking about the book. I heart you.

♥Booklish Reviews♥ Okay, so just hear me out! I was thinking about this the other day:
What if Before I Go had a spin-off. Hum? The angst of it all would leave me reeling! Jack getting with her best friend and them having a child. Maybe naming that child Daisy?

And then maybe he's content with his life. But oh wait, Daisy had an identical twin sister. *GRABS CHEST* And just when you think he's happy in his new marriage, moving on ect., this twin pops up outta nowhere!

So then Jack has an affair with Daisy's twin, and then his new wife (daisy's former BF) finds out and all hell breaks loose!

It could happen!
