A Risk on Forever by N.S. Perkins
4.0
See it's something about a character driven story that's full of heart felt letter that will get me every time! This was my first time reading by this author and I'm ready to read her entire back list!
This story starts off with Adelaide going into to work at her local coffee shop just to be fired and sent home same day because the coffee shop wasn't keeping steady business. While sitting in a park next to her old job, she see a job posting online for a caregiver that closes that day. In desperate need to find a job asap to keep her family afloat, Addy sprints to the nearest bus stop to go to the address listed. When she arrives the interviewer, Matthias, is instantly put off by her but his mother, who has ALS, loves her. So when Matthias grudgingly hired Addy to be his mother's new caregiver, his and Addy's life takes a complete 180.
If you are dealing with grief of any kind or if you lost someone physically or emotionally, this book will have you deep in your feelings for not only about the loss you experienced in your life but for the different levels of loss in this book. I knew this one was going to be an emotionally ride but Helen's relationship with her son and her caregiver Addy had me mourning a death of someone that's simply ink on paper. My heart smile but also sob so much while reading the letters Helen left for her loved ones throughout the book while we were able to experience their love forming in the present. Yes, this book is a romance but it left me with some many life lessons and drove home to me that life is to short not to be happy with the ones you love.
