What if?If only…Annie Beyers lives in the Yellow House, her dream farmhouse. She has a husband named Graham who she’s madly in love with...and a 5-year old daughter named Hannah, who is the apple of her eye.Imagine Annie’s shock when she wakes up from a car accident only to be told that Hannah doesn’t exist...and that she and Graham are at the tail-end of their divorce. They don’t live in the Yellow House anymore, and Annie is super close to her sister, Marcie...the sister she grew apart from in...
Masterfully crafted and wonderfully original, A Day Like This is storytelling at its best, leaving you with the tingly “what if” feeling that keeps you wondering about the story and the possibilities for your own life long after the last page is turned.
Beautifully written! I honestly dreaded reading more of this book. It was breaking my heart. As a mom I could feel her pain knowing she had something but just couldn't prove it. I've also often wondered about different paths we could have taken. So many different choices I could have made and yet I've always felt that the choices I've made, gave me the best version of my life. I've had dejavu so many times and often wondered why that happens. Maybe it is a little insight to another life that cou...
What a disappointment after a promising start. Expected a real twist and battled on. And on. And on. Nothing! Just waffle waffle, Hannah bla bla. Sorry but what a waste of my time
3.5⭐The first half was captivating. The second half was a complete surprise!Annie Beyers's daughter Hannah has a fever on a Friday afternoon. Luckily, the last patient had canceled the appointment, and her pediatrician's office wants them there in thirty minutes. Annie knows it would take her longer than that on a sunny day and with the nasty storm it'll take her even longer but she'd try anyway. While driving down the country road, Annie glanced at Hannah in the rearview mirror when a pickup tr...
When we fantasize about different paths we might have taken, we usually think about how our lives would be better—but how much would we have lost to arrive there? In her gorgeous debut, Kelley McNeil explores the question of “what if” through a brilliant premise that kept me captivated hour after hour. This book is bursting with heartache and love, and with tremendous empathy for its genuine and likeable characters—including a beloved house. A Day Like This is smart, poignant, and poetic, the st...
3.5 thoughts soon.
Enjoyed it enough but I expected to like it more. It dragged with descriptions of furniture, the house interior, thra backyard, the trees… and I found myself skipping paragraphs towards the end.Nice idea, but I expected a stronger plot and a stronger ending.
Finally I read it, and I have to say, there was no way to tell by looking at the author's brilliant writing style that this was her first published book. Kelley McNeil's storytelling style was mind-boggling, exciting, poetic, and compelling all at once.The main twist of the story was that it was an unintentional journey from one dimension to another where the main protagonist, Annie Beyers, finds herself in the wrong situation. With each passing day in this new dimension, Annie’s remembered past...
What to say about this book? Hmm. It's definitely not your normal, every day read - I honestly don't even know what genre to put this in? Fantasy, suspense, domestic drama? It's a bit of them all, and it's one of those books that you need to read for yourself and decide.Annie Beyers is on her way to the pediatrician with her five-year-old daughter, Hannah, when she is involved in a car accident. When she wakes up in the hospital, her husband and the doctors all tell her that she does not have a
I loved this book and I'm amazed that this is Ms. McNeil's first. I think it's the best book I've ever chosen from Amazon First Reads! Can you imagine getting into a car accident with your daughter in the car, but waking up in the hospital and being told you've never had a daughter??? I won't go into everything Annie woke up to but it was a fascinating, heartwrenching premise. All I can say is if you want to escape into a story of big WHAT IFs, the road not taken, or second chances, you will lov...
I absolutely loved this book and read it in one sitting. It centers on Annie, who gets in a car accident with her daughter, but wakes up being told that she never had a daughter at all. This book has a unique way of converging the believable with the maybe believable to weave an authentic story that leaves you rooting for Annie no matter what decisions she makes. I thought it had it all figured out but the way it ended was even more beguiling than I had imagined. That’s all I need to say- just g...
