A Five-Minute Life, an all-new standalone new adult romance by International bestselling author Emma Scott is Live!
Thea Hughes has five minutes to live.
A car accident stole her parents and left her with the second-worst documented case of amnesia in the world. She now has only minutes of experiences, of consciousness, of life…before her memory is wiped clean. The once effervescent artist with a promising future is reduced to scribbling with pens and paper, living an empty, quiet life, three hundred seconds at a time.
Jim Whelan is on autopilot.
A foster kid shuffled around the system since birth, he’s lived his entire life without knowing love…and it’s taken its toll—until he learned to fight back, carry his armor, and keep his head down.
Working as an orderly in the Blue Ridge Sanitarium, deep in Virginia countryside, Jim looked up…and found Thea.
When Thea has the chance to break free of her five-minute prison with a risky, experimental surgery, it could lead them both to an epic love they never thought possible… or one that could require the ultimate sacrifice.
A stand-alone, new adult romance.

I have NO WORDS!!!
................................
Fascinating,Reverberating, mystifying, soulful and generous. This book gives you the world before crashing it down. Intense & moving, you'll sneak a glimpse of what eternal, everlasting love feels like.
I'm moved and shook and my eyes are like waterfalls in rainy season
What a unique story, it's now tattooed on my soul with indelible ink. I will NEVER be able to walk away from it. It crashed like a meteor on my heart and left behind a huge crater.
"Remember me; remember us...even when I cant!"
Can I die from sobbing so hard? Cause I truely have cried almost the entire duration of this story. I've wept and wailed like a bereft griever at a funeral. How can I sum up my devastated feelings in words. That task should and has fallen upon Emma.
Oh Dear Emma!! What have you done to me!!!
It's a brief story, in the sense that it takes place in about 2 year span.
There's this amnesiac patient- Thea Hughes. Her beautiful, artistic brain is trapped in a memory loop of 5 minutes
She was here, but any minute now, she’d be gone. And this moment, right here, right now, never happened.
The new, handsome, stuttering,compassionate orderly is acutely tuned to her case and somehow ends up getting his heart entangled with hers every five minutes, the span of her life memory.
He's Jim Whelan- Jimmy with kind eyes
My heart ......just flatlined. Many times!
The powerful brief love they share makes me shake my fists to God and his designed destiny.
This story delves in not only undying, devotional love but also into the deeper meaning of life
“what are we if we aren’t our memories?
Who are we without them?
Where are we in this life?
They anchor us to all the who, what, and where. Without memory, we might as well be dead. Inside the amnesia, I’m not physically dead but I’m stuck in between both worlds.
Like a ghost."
To capture as many raindrops of love nectar as we can and bask in their glory. Love, life, relationships are so fleeting.......like a butterfly!!!
This was my first book by Emma (I know, how dumb of me!) But I'm going to read every single word written by her. That'll be my mission from now on
Each tear I shed was a testament to the powerful emotions her words elicited.
It's EPIC in its feels, it's storyline, characters and narration. I fell in love with Thea and Jim in the first scene itself. Tender hearted, lonely souls that anchor to each other in a relationship that has nowhere to go and nothing to give to each other.
I held her so tight, trying to keep her with me.
She was in my arms and slipping away at the same time. And she knew it.
She was sliding down a steep, unforgiving slope into the blackness of amnesia; desperately scrabbling for purchase, her fingers clutching my shirt.
It starts beautifully and then you can feel the danger and dread in the middle and the end almost killed me.
It's beautiful, befitting and bespoke. In the sense that I could never have imagined or accepted any other ending. It made me smile so hard and cry yet again, joyous tears this time.
What a fantastic word painting you've created Emma, full of vibrant colours and words.
The pointillism was a genius touch and I got to learn something new today.
I'm tearfully babbling, so please go and BUY THE BOOK when it read it with a giant bottle of wine and extra large box of tissues
6 stars for exploding ovaries and melting hearts
