Mila
“Don’t let go.” Those were my first words to him, as I hung over the side of a London bridge. The words I would soon say again, in a moment that didn’t involve bridges, but something much more fragile: my heart.
He held onto me for three weeks, in a time when I needed to be held. Needed to connect to someone who understood how loss tunneled unrepentantly through the fabric of your soul.
Although he said he'd stay, we both knew he wouldn't. I had already survived one loss—I didn't know if I'd survive another.
Ames
She spun into my life like a tornado of smiles and chatter and everything else I'd long avoided, with a persistence that I admired, albeit begrudgingly. She broke down each neat wall I’d constructed without even trying. Her presence alone caused me to remember what it felt like to smile, to look forward to what the day would bring.
But it was only supposed to last three weeks.
“Don’t let go,” she’d pleaded.
I’d promised her I wouldn’t—but I would. I didn't have a choice.
I like nachos and champagne and clean sheets. I spend far too much time at Starbucks. I wrote a couple books

Yay!!! I can finally say I’ve read a Whitney Barbetti book. What a great book to start with. This author’s writing is wonderful.
Mila is used to not being in the #1 position. Whether it be growing up in a family where one child is sick and parents dote on that one, forgetting about the other child they have. Never doing the #1 thing her parents want her to do in life. Never living up to the #1 spot in anything.
Finding herself on ‘assignment’ in London, after losing her boyfriend, Mila is feeling a bit ‘lost’.
After a tragic almost deathly accident, she is faced with the eyes of a stranger that is there to rescue her.
Ames is struggling… He is a lost person. Living the life of a Bar manager…or should I say Pub manager that is owned by his father in law. He too has lost someone and is barely hanging on.
When fate put him in that spot where he chose to rescue the gal… He knew his life was about to change.
This story is one that has the feelings, makes you laugh, even makes you want to smack some sense at times into people. But the depth and the story being told is one that flowed perfectly. It comes with a heartful feeling that life is truly what you make of it. Even though you might not be with the person you truly loved, there is love out there for everyone.

“It’s a choice— to wallow in despair or to acknowledge what can still bring happiness to my life."
Mila is struggling between grieving and living. Her boyfriend Colin died three months ago and as per his last wish she didn't chain her life to his death. She is struggling everyday to get out of this maze of pain and loss , without anybody to hold her hand and lead her out. Add to that , the survivors guilt of being the healthier of the twins . She is stumbling through life, until one day , she's pushed over.......from the Bridge on River Thames!!!!
And who saves her ? . Ames . Who is the most generous of the heart .
" Don't let go !!
Never, I won't let you go"
And he doesn't..
The story has lots of deeper emotions running right under the surface. There are life lessons right there in the pages, hidden in the sadness of everyone's eyes. Ames and Mila share the sadness of the heart.
Lotte is feeling leashed and tethered to a life she didn't want. Asher surprisingly is the calm eye in the center of their chaotic life
The story will give you lots of feels, will make you cry and laugh too. And teach you how to live. Not by shrugging off the weight of life, but learn to live DESPITE it
4.5 stars
