During the last few weeks I have had the privilege of reading a wide and varied range of books from different Carina UK authors. A few of those books have gone into my 'I cannot recommend this book highly enough' list, the one that's in my head that is! LolThis book is one of those stories. I feel privileged to have read this book, and extremely glad that this author joined an amazing list of authors willing to join me in getting the word out about Carina UK authors.This author also joins another list – 'authors who made me cry'! I strongly advise you to have a pile of hankies at the ready while reading this story.A moment keeper is someone who has died and is assigned to a newborn baby. Their 'job' is to record any important events in that persons life, which they will then experience one more time just after they die, before moving on.Sarah is one of these moment keepers. She is assigned to Olivia, and the story moves between Olivia's experiences as Sarah records them, and moments in Sarah's own short life. We see both their lives through Sarah's eyes, being drawn into both very easily.On finishing this book I immediately contacted the author to say how much I had enjoyed it. I felt bad as I had figured out a key point in the story before she wanted it revealed, but only just! However the main point which made me cry, right at the end, I didn't foresee at all.The author has written a story which drew me in immediately. I wanted to know where both of the stories were going, even though we know from the start how one of them ends. My attention was held all the way through, and I read this in one sitting.A highly highly recommended read in my humble opinion.
