For fans of One Day, What Alice Forgot, and the hit film Sliding Doors, comes an absorbing and surprising debut novel about a young woman who, after an accident, gets a second chance at life . . . just not in one she remembers. Rachel Wiltshire has everything she’s ever wanted: a close group of friends, a handsome boyfriend, and acceptance to the journalism program at her top-choice college. But one fateful evening, tragedy tears her world apart. Five years later, Rachel returns home for the first time to celebrate her best friend’s wedding. Still coping with her grief, she can’t stop thinking about the bright future she almost had, if only that one night had gone differently. But when a sudden fall lands her in the hospital, Rachel wakes to find that her life has completely changed. Now the people she loves most are not the way she remembers them. Unable to trust her own recollections, Rachel tries to piece together what really happened, and not even she can predict the astonishing truth.Advance praise for Then and Always “Clear your schedule for an addicting read.

Het boek begon heel veel belovend, maar ik vond het naarmate het verhaal vorderde toch minder worden. Er zat niet veel diepgang en ontwikkeling in de karakters, en het was vrij voorspelbaar. Het is verder wel een vermakelijk boek wat vlot weg las.
NetGalley called this book Women’s Fiction, but I would shelve it in Chick-Romance. For some reason, I consider Women’s Fiction a notch more serious than this, but maybe that's just me. In any case, the “romance” part of that is not usually my thing, but I am on vacation, so it makes me a little mor...
Then and Always is the American title for the British novel: Fractured by Dani Atkins. I don’t understand the title change, as fractured fits the story better in my opinion. The cover is nice. It for sure attracts the female public the book is directed too. Then and Always is a good story. You can s...
