It meandered, and I feel like it could have been a tad shorter, more concise, and still effective.
However, I did find the pacing a bit too slow at times. And the fact that there were consequences to her getting this second chance was also well done. I liked the sense of her actively working to do things differently. Chloe’s grief in the wake of losing her mother, and then inexplicably getting a do-over was generally well-conveyed. And one thing I’ve always loved is her characters frequently have some sort of tie to Hawaii, whether living there currently or as a part of their backstory.Īnd I did really feel the emotional punch of it. Echavarre does a good job of infusing the Filipino cultural elements, as usual. Given the heroines and their backgrounds have always been what stood out for me and the romances were often elements I could take or leave (the most recent being unbearably bland), I was optimistic I might enjoy this one.Īnd to an extent, I did. I was excited to hear that Sarah Echavarre Smith was releasing a women’s fiction book, Three More Months, as Sarah Echavarre.
I received an early copy of this book through Amazon First Reads. This is a second chance Chloe never saw coming. She’s going to do everything differently: repair family rifts, forge new bonds, tell her mother every day how much she loves her, and possibly prevent the inevitable. But Chloe is going to make the most of it. How can she make sense of this? It’s impossible. No one-not Chloe’s brother, friends, or colleagues-understands why Chloe is so confused. And it’s no longer May she’s been transported back in time to March. Just days before the funeral, Chloe finds her mother unaccountably alive and well. Sadly, hours before she arrives, her mother passes away, leaving Chloe without a goodbye and riddled with grief and regret.
What if you woke up one day and the loved one you’d lost was suddenly, inexplicably alive again?Ĭhloe Howard’s devotion to her job has come at a cost: spending time with the most important person in her life-her mother.
