Publisher's summary

A modern-day Sleeping Beauty story of love and hope, for fans of Jojo Moyes.

Elsa has been in a coma for five months. With all hope of reviving her gone, her family and doctors are having to face the devastating fact that it might be time to turn off her life support....

They don't realise that in the past few weeks, Elsa has regained partial consciousness; she knows where she is and can hear everyone talking around her bed, but she has no way of telling them she's there.

Thibault is in the same hospital visiting his brother, a drunk driver responsible for the deaths of two teenage girls. Thibault's emotions are in turmoil, and, needing a retreat, he finds his way into Elsa's room. Seeing her lying there so peacefully, he finds it hard to believe she is not just sleeping.

Thibault begins to visit Elsa regularly. As he learns more about her through her family and friends, he begins to realise that he is developing feelings for her. And when he talks to her, he can't help feeling that she can hear his every word.

For Elsa, his visits are like a breath of fresh air. Finally here is someone who speaks to her as if she is a real-life person. Who makes her laugh. And who gives her something to fight for....

And so begins a love story that might just save both their lives.

4+ Stars

It ended perfectly, but I still wanted more. A true reader dichotomy.

The audio captured the characters well and it was a wonderful listen.

Great until the last word!

I listened to this almost straight-- I had to take bathroom breaks. Characters are well developed and how Elsa describes being in a coma is what I fear. I will probably have nightmares. I fell in love with Tebow and was so grateful to Elsa's friends for inviting him to stay.

Without giving the story away, this finished and I screamed, "No! You are not done yet!" If I had the book, I would have been frantically flipping through to see if there were more pages, an epilogue? A secret website to read more? This ending needed more, which is why I give it three stars.

Great story, well developed and realistic characters.

My friend and I listened to this book on a long weekend car trip. Made the trip that much more memorable.

This was such an interesting story. I couldn't wait to get back to it every time I had to stop.
