My heart! Book 2 has all the emotions you could possibly feel all wrapped into it. I really appreciated all the details that made me feel like I was a part of the story. I’m so glad I didn’t have to wait long to read book 2. I really wondered what would happen. This is an excellently written book (both are) and I felt like I learned a little bit more about experiencing cancer. If you’re ready for a book with all the feels, then this duet is for you!
After removing his Do Not Resuscitate Order, Will spends twelve days in the intensive care unit on a ventilator. Dr. Evans tells Tory that Will has chosen her to be his power of attorney for all healthcare decisions. When he recovers from the pneumonia, Will chooses to go through treatment. As the chemotherapy begins to make Will sick, he has a seizure and Tory has a decision to make. She agrees to allow the doctors to start dialysis, unsure if she made the right decision, as Will continues to be in pain. Three days after chemotherapy ends, Will receives his stem cell transplant. After several blood transfusions, he is finally released to go home as his cancer is in remission
All joy ends, as Will becomes severely anemic and cannot breathe overnight. Tory rushes him to the emergency room, and he is given another blood transfusion. Angry with the case manager, Tory becomes irate about the delay in service for Will. The following day, Will goes home and manages to do well until the day after Thanksgiving. Tory finds him clutching his stomach and violently vomiting. Rushing him to the emergency room, Will suffers from a panic attack and goes unconscious. Did the cancer return? Dr. Evans returns to give the diagnosis of graft versus host. This time, Will has to spend several weeks in the hospital until he is released to go home before Christmas.
During the entire course of Will’s treatments and multiple hospital trips, the love that the couple has continues to grow. The most endearing part of the love is the paper flowers Will makes for Tory every Tuesday. On Christmas, he gave her a heart necklace made with his birthstone. A true romantic at heart, I think any woman would have loved to be with Will.
“Whatever Tomorrow Brings” by Amy Argent is the second book in the Embrace Tomorrow Duet. After reading the first book, I was so eager to learn what happens next for Will and Tori, as he decides to fight the cancer. While the first book focused more on building their friendship, this one had many heavily detailed romance scenes. This story brought me to tears many times. Will overcame so many trials, both physically and emotionally, and Tori was by his side the entire time. Their relationship is overwhelmingly beautiful!

Welcome to life as we all know it. Will was not fighting for his life. He had all but given in to the cancer that just keeps coming back. So much so he signed a DNR.Tori does not know how much she really loves Will, until the day he told her to leave and not come back. What she does next is beautiful. Then there is Jenny, the nurse who is friends with both Will and Tori. Her job is to read between the lines and give hope when needed. This book has so many emotions going on, that a person can get lost in reading, and nothing gets done. Yes this is an end of your seat Romance that will capture your heart, break your heart and fulfill your heart all in one story. This is part 2 of this duet, so please read book 1 to become caught up. This author does not disappoint. Her story is complete from beginning to end. Her characters are people we all can relate to. Just a beautiful Romance that started with the big C word.
I finished this book and would normally come right in and write a review. I couldn’t do that with this one. The very first thing I did was one click book 2. I had to read some of that because it was like I had quit breathing after the first.
I normally shy away from anything too sad, anything to do with anyone having the big “C”. I will say that other readers’ reviews for this book is what reeled me in, and the cover kept drawing me back to it. I’m especially shocked that I chose to read this in the times we are living in.
I was hooked on the first paragraph! I hated every single time I had to put this book down, and it never left my mind till I picked it back up. I was completely shocked that this is this author’s first book. I still can’t believe it. It was written as well if not better than many best selling books out there today. Authors with a whole list of books do not have anything on this author. I can tell this was written with a lot of emotion, care, and love. I felt every bit of that. Will and Tori **sigh** first I’ll start with Tori. I walked in her shoes with her this whole book. I fell to my knees with her through this whole book. Her character was written so beautifully and her strength was everything! She was everything Will didnt want around him, yet needed her even though he fought not to. Reading the building of this connection felt completely natural and I cried alot, lost my breath a lot and worried a lot. I also though smiled, and laughed. The interaction between these two was simple perfection in my eyes.
I also want to mention Jenny, I loved her, her character was very strong in this book. I felt her struggle with things I suspected, being torn the way she was I can’t even imagine and don’t know that Id have had the strength to keep those lines from getting blurred.
I loved this book. I already love this author, and I’m so thankful I read it. It’s not all depressing and sad. It’s a journey of a growing love, and a whole lot of hope that never got lost in the mix. It was a lot of people’s reality, and I am so thankful I have the next one sitting right here on my kindle, because waiting for it would probably ruin me!
Many thanks to this author for giving me this book. I know I will be reading this again in the future. I can confidently say this is one of my top 3 books of 2021!

Well, this is my second book from this author, and I’m in love. The story between Will and Tori is wonderful and heartfelt. If you have not read the first book you need to go back and get the details! Will is fighting cancer and fighting hard. Tori walks in and brings light to the darkest hospital room! But after finding out Will revoked his DNR, there was a fighting chance for him! Also, a long road of recovery. But with Tori by his side and his caring friends and family, there is nothing they can’t do! I felt like I was right there in the hospital room with them. The author is on point and this two book series will not be the last for me.
Tori is a clinical psychologist at a hospital in Seattle who has taken it upon herself to provide terminal patients company. The patients have no visitors, and Tori feels that nobody should die alone. When her friend Jenny, a nurse for the hospital, approaches her about Will, Tori is caught off guard at his age. At 29 years old, Will has been diagnosed with an infection coupled with an end stage lymphoma. What is even more shocking, is that Will is refusing treatment and has a Do Not Resuscitate document on file.
At first, Tori visits Will, and he refuses to answer any questions except “Can I come back tomorrow?” As days go by, Will admits that he is eagerly awaiting her daily visits. Tori also begins to look forward to seeing him. They soon become friends and on the weekends, Tori brings movies, and they end up growing closer. They become infatuated with one another and Will begins to divulge more of his life with Tori. He begins allowing treatment to get past the infection and looks forward to going home. A day before he will be released to hospice, Will takes a turn for the worse with pneumonia. As he is nearing death, having issues breathing, he tells Tori to leave and not come back. Tori pleads with him to allow the hospital to treat him, but he refuses. As Tori sits at home grieving, she receives a call from Jenny that changes her entire view about Will. What changes? How will she handle his death?
I cannot express my utter emotional response to this book. I look forward to reading the sequel. As Tori fell in love with Will, I felt my heart go out to him. I will admit that it brought tears to my eyes when Will was diagnosed with pneumonia, and I connected with Tori’s pain when he rejected her company. I also struggled with why she just wouldn’t tell him that she loved him too.

I honestly can’t remember the last time I connected with a book as much as I have with this one. As someone who has watched someone suffer with cancer, this book tore at my heartstrings in ways I didn’t even know were possible. There were moments I knew exactly how Tori was feeling, making me connect with her on an extremely deep level, even if the person she was watching was her boyfriend and mine was my grandma. As with the previous book, the writer does an amazing job at describing to the reader exactly what it feels like to go through cancer, but in this book, every turn for the worse that Will takes makes my heart stop, hoping against hope he will survive his ordeal.
This book has left me with a newfound respect for every person who has ever gone through cancer, as well as more sympathy for those that have to support them through it. As much as she made me cry, I am looking forward to reading more books by this author, and am sad that the story of Will and Tori has come to a close.
This author just about killed me. All the emotional ups and downs still has me reeling days after I read this book. I just love it when you need a good cry and a book helps you achieve it. This book did just that. I feel emotionally cleansed after this spectacular book. After book one left us on a cliffhanger, the author game back with even better writing. This is definitely an author I’m adding to my favorites. Dare I say this gave me Nicholas Spark feels
An emotional must read. I knew I had to read this one after reading the first book. I recommend reading Come Back Tomorrow before diving into this one. This book is the continuation of Will and Tori’s relationship and Will’s fight to beat cancer. In this book there are definitely challenges as Will fights for his life and Tori is there with him and for him. Although there is sadness and heartache in this story there is also hope, love, romance, friendship, and family. I found myself completely invested in their lives and had to read this book in one sitting. I am so glad that we got to see how Will and Tori’s relationship grew as they lived outside of the hospital. I look forward to reading more books by this author.
This book is a very intense read, be ready to grab a box of tissues. The author does not flinch from giving a detailed picture of what it is to deal with Cancer and how the patients deal with it. Can two people in love beat the disease? The duo meet under the least expecting circumstances and their deep love and connection is beautiful. This book is an emotional roller coaster ride.
This is the second book I’ve read by this author and it was just as good as the first! This book continues on the story of Will & Tori. The topic of cancer, sickness, and death is never easy to read or discuss, but it’s done so well in this series. I found myself genuinely rooting for Will & Tori to overcome his sickness. This book is well written, entertaining, and will definitely pull on your heart strings!

This is the continuation of Will and Tori’s story and it continues the emotional rollercoaster ride from the first book. The main characters begin the journey we all hoped for. The story is so emotional, and I loved every single minute of it. If you have not read the first book, you must!!! I can not wait to see what the author comes out with next. I am there!!
Tori and Will are back in this tale of one terminal cancer patient and the woman who started out wanting to be his friend and turned into something much more. When she first walked into his room, all she saw were glorious and intense green eyes both challenging her to stay and telling her to leave all at the same time, there is vulnerability and strength, loneliness and determination there, but he has had nobody to visit him, this young man who is suffering all alone. Tori decides at that moment that she will be there for him and asks him whether she could “come back tomorrow?” and she did, everyday and each day she spent with him, each day she fell deeper in love.
What she didn’t want to think about is that Will was going to die, but she knew she was in too deep regardless, but the day she was going to tell him that is the day that she never expected. As Will is struggling to breathe as the pneumonia takes its toll, but between breaths he is trying to talk to Tori, saying that “He is scared and that he feels like he is falling apart and that he has nothing to hold on to to get him though.” this is where Tori says he can hold onto her, but he replies that “He wants her to leave and not to come back tomorrow, in fact not to come back at all!”
This absolutely destroys Tori, but she doesn’t realise just how much until she hears the alarm of “Code blue, code blue in room four-twelve” and she knows then that it might just be too late to tell him how she feels. However, when her best friend Jenny comes into the room and tells her that he hasn’t died and that in fact he has chosen to live, chosen to love, chosen to fight and chosen Tori over death, all she feels is relief that she has a second chance and this time, she isn’t going to let it pass her by and she will fight by his side, as he fights everything else. This is an emotional rollercoaster which will wrench you by the heartstrings throughout as the fight continues in this epic journey of uncertain tomorrows.
This is book two of the series. You should definitely read book one before diving into this book. Not only did I need to find out how the story was going to go for Will and Tori, I did genuinely enjoy book one and of course wanted to read book two to finish out the story.
This book is well written and packed with so so many emotions. Tori and Will finally get to start their journey together. It goes without saying they have had and still have quite a bit to overcome together. It was hard to put this book down but boy the emotional roller coaster was worth it!
What an emotional Rollercoaster just like the first book. Sometimes I have to take a breather for the tears I shed. Then I’m addicted and just want to read next page. Life, love, and death don’t discriminate against age, when its your time fate will show you.
This book is the continuation of Will and Tori’s story. This book continues the emotional rollercoaster ride that was started in book one. Will and Tori start out on the journey we all hoped would come to fruition after the first book, trying to build a life together post-cancer. The story carries the same depth and emotional wisdom that the first did and still draws together a truly compelling story that keeps you turning the pages to the very end.
I feel like some parts of the book lacked some grounding in reality, which I understand given that this is a fairytale scenario romance life. The author had shown such depth with her writing in the first book that I thought maybe she wouldn’t fade as far down the fairytale path as she did in this one. Let’s face it, no matter how much you love someone and what kind of situation you are in, you aren’t going to go from sick in the hospital to living together full-time without some bumps along the road. I would have appreciated seeing more conflict between Tori and Will as they settled in together, rather than the automatic perfection that the book drew.
Also, the sex scenes. I’m not a prude and I hate to harp on this because I know it is to be expected in a romance novel, I just felt it overtook the story at some points. We get it, they love each other and are happy to be together, but I felt like every two or three pages we were back in bed with them, or in the shower, or on the floor…the storyline was built well enough that readers could have gotten the message and been engaged until the very end without spending hours discussing all of their passion. Overall, I still liked the book and would be interested in reading more of the author’s work, this one, while just as well written and emotional, didn’t grab me the same way the first one did.
A fantastic five-star read. This is number two in the Embrace tomorrow duet and it concludes after the biggest emotional roller-coaster of the year. Grab the tissues and wine, and if you haven’t read the first part, pick it up then sink into these great stories as you will not be sorry. I have cried and sobbed while reading these but I am so glad I read them, as they have changed me, I am hoping for the better, but they have certainly changed me.

Oh my gosh! I cried SO MUCH while I was reading this book! I thought the first book in this series was heartbreaking on my emotions, well it has NOTHING on this one! I absolutely loved this ending! I don’t think my heart could have taken it if it were any different. I feel like this is a book and series that everyone with a beating heart needs to read. I was in the mood for an emotional cry and by golly I got one today! This is a book that will not leave me anytime soon. I really want to see more of Tori and Will in the future! To the author: thank you so much for writing this series! I hope to read more heartbreaking and HEA books in the future like this series!
This is the conclusion of the Embrace Tomorrow Duet. I was just as an emotional wreck reading this book as I was during book one… actually, probably more so but in a totally good way! This author has done such a great job creating characters and situations that are real and believable. This story is extremely well written and the characters are well developed and have so much depth to them. I loved how everyone pulled together for Will and I admired the supportive strength of Tori. Their story was a sad, wonderful, journey and I highly recommend it! … Just be sure to have tissues nearby!

I was SO excited to be able to continue the story of Will and Tori! I was so emotionally invested in their story in the first book. This book was equally emotional, spinning me in every direction. I laughed, I cried, I could not stop reading. Will is battling cancer, and after wanting to give up, he has finally decided he wants to fight for his life. Tori is his girlfriend who wants nothing more than to take care of Will in hopes of spending their lives together. This book gives the raw emotional journey of battling cancer. You get insight from both points of view that send your emotions soaring. Have your tissues ready because you will need them right to the very end!
A beautiful romance between Will, a man fighting cancer, and Tori, who loves him more than anything. The book was a bit hard to read for me since both my parents passed due to cancer. However, the love Will and Tori shared in this book kept so much hope in my heart. The author did an amazing job with the story and how cancer can decimate a person’s body. The characters in the book are very relatable and genuine. I really enjoyed reading the book and finding hope along with the characters as I read. I did not read the first book but I was able to figure out the characters and the basic reasons why Will sent Tori away but that their love for each other made them hope.
This book is just as intense as the first. After reading the first half of this duet I knew that this second half would be just as an emotional roller coaster ride. Tori and Will have such a romantic relationship that my soul wept for them. The amount of emotion, courage, determination and so much more was overwhelming but beautiful. Once again this author gives us our beautiful characters, an emotional plot, and a love story that will have you needing a whole box of tissues. So if your looking for an emotional read this weekend I highly recommend this book.
What a fantastic sequel! The first book left me wondering what would happen with Tori and Will. This book takes right back up where the first book left off and more than answers all of the questions I had. It was heart wrenching to follow their story and to read whether or not Will would beat cancer. I grieved for both of them as they loved each other so deeply, not knowing whether tomorrow would be their last. I highly recommend this series!

If I thought I needed the tissues for the first book in this duet then I was wrong because I needed a bucket load more for this book. Oh my gosh what an emotional roller-coaster I have been on with Tori and Will. I think the author did an absolutely amazing job with this story, to take something that has an impact on so many people and to write about it so beautifully, so raw and truthful is really something special. I felt like I was right there with Tori and Will from the very beginning until the very last word of this book. I laughed with them, I cried with them and I felt every single emotion that they did. Both books have been a pleasure to read and I will definitely be looking forward to more from this author again in the future.
This is the second book in the Embrace Tomorrow Series and wow its just as emotionally and captivating as the first one.
In this story we are back with Will and Tori. Will is still fighting Cancer and getting worse by the day. Even with his love for Tori isn’t enough to help him. When he is given an option of treatment to help him maybe survive and beat this cancer Will jumps at the chance.
The road that is ahead of them both is painful and heartbreaking. There are moments when you feel like Will is going to give up and moments when Tori is so heartbroken she doesn’t know how she is going to be strong enough to get him through it.
Their journey for the life they want together is going to be hard and just when you think they are winning something else brings them down but through it all the love they share is unwavering and unconditional. It’s so beautiful to read.
This book is such an emotional story. After reading the first book there was no way I wasn’t going to read this one too so I could find out how this journey would end. From the moment you start reading you are pulled straight back into the characters. This book is probably even more heart breaking and emotional that the first book. The whole way through I kept convincing myself I knew how the story would end only to change my mind a few moments later. The author has created such a lasting story that I think stays with you long after the Duet ends. This is a fantastic series that I would highly recommend.
Definitely an emotional read. Tissues are a must. I loved the first book in this duo and this picks up where the first one left off. As with the first book this one has all the feels to. This sweet tale is moving and gut wrenching. Your heart will ache and break and will pull on your heart strings. I recommend reading the books in order for the back ground and getting to know how they came to be. You will be utterly exhausted by the time you finish this journey. It is a story of a man who had nothing to live for now he has someone to fight by his side. The only problem is there is no guarantee for tomorrow, there is only now and when you have that you hang on tight to that lifeline and hope like hell. It is a beautiful love story.

This is the second book in the Embrace Tomorrow Duet series by this author. Following the first book I knew that I had to read this one and I didn’t think I could love a book anymore, but I was wrong. The first book brought me tears of joy and this one continued that pattern for me. Of course, just as the first one was therapeutic so was this one. I love the authors writing. Her description of the story and journey that these characters are traveling on is wonderful. It’s honestly a roller coaster ride of emotions. I highly recommend this book as well as the previous book be read by every single adult. They are truly wonderful books related to death and the relationships of individuals in love and dealing with dying.
Whatever Tomorrow Brings is the second book in the Embrace Tomorrow Duet by Amy Argent.
As this follows on from the first book I highly recommend reading Book One before beginning this second instalment. As with the first book, this is a very angsty, heart-wrenching and emotional read, so having some tissues close by would be a good idea-as you will definitely need them. Tori came into Will’s life right when he thought it was all over and he had nothing left worth fighting for. They never expected to fall in love- but love sometimes comes when we least expect it. Cancer had its grip on him, and he thought his time was up. But with Tori by his side and their love blossoming, he finds the courage and determination to fight his cancer, especially if it will give them a chance of a future together. But things are not going to be easy, that’s for sure, they are going to be challenged like never before and their bond of friendship and love will be put to the test. So, as you can imagine, with such an intense and emotional topic- fighting for your life with cancer- this story really hits hard- so be prepared to have your emotions toyed with as Ms. Argent doesn’t hold back. My emotions got quite a workout. While this story is quite sad and emotionally taxing at times- there is also sweetness to it too. After reading the first book, I really needed to know what happened, so it was a given that I would snap up a copy of this so I could have a front row seat to what would happen next….. and this proved to be a great follow-up to the first instalment, another angsty story with our MC facing his death and his mortality…. it also inspires hope while showing us the power of love.
