Come Back Tomorrow (Embrace Tomorrow, #1)Come Back Tomorrow by Amy Argent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m always one for a good romance and this one felt like it followed the typical romance plotline BUT I felt like it also carried more substance than a lot of romance novels do with the addition of the illness. This is one of the few books I’ve read recently that really pulled me in and had me attached to the characters from the jump.

Tori works as a hospital psychologist and has taken up the duty of helping certain patients walk through their end-of-life journey. Though it isn’t easy to do, she holds the mission dear to her heart. Her friend Jenny who works in oncology brings her in on a case and she meets Will, a young man, who is dying of cancer and from his viewpoint has nothing left to live for. So much so that he has signed a DNR and managed to push all of his friends and family out of his world, in order to spare them the pain of watching him die. He keeps Tori at arms length at first but as she continues to work with him he begins to soften and she is able to help him understand that pushing people away is hurting him more than anyone else. As they work together they form a friendship and eventually a relationship.

It is a very sweet romantic story given the state of the patient and, while it has its moments, keeps the over-the-top lustfulness to a minimum which was refreshing to me. The book is ended with a cliffhanger good enough that I immediately bought the second book. The book is well written and well researched and has a very good grasp on the cycle that dying patients and their loved ones go through in the end. I was drawn in by the characters and kept turning pages because of the great storyline. I would recommend this book.
