Gone Too Soon by Dani Atkins


Lisa is an astronomer,  and on her way to give a presentation,  her train derails,  leaving her brain dread. She was on the organ donor list and saved for people's lives.  Months after,  her husband Alex holds a memorial for her and invites these four after exchanging communications. Barbara, a lonely elderly woman,  mother to several cats; Jamie, a young man with wild stories of travel and adventure; Mac, an architect who lost his vision; and Molly, a kindergarten teacher who received Lisa's heart.  Strangely drawn to each other,  the four find ways to continue their connection to each other.  Alex feels drawn to Molly, feeling that as long as Lisa's heart keeps beating in her chest,  there's still a party of Lisa to hold on to.
Have your tissues ready for this emotional ride! It was a beautiful story of grief,  love,  and healing, finally learning to let go. 
Thank you to Dani Atkins and Bookouture for the opportunity to read this book. I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. The views and opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
