All the Perfect Days

De: Michael Thompson

Narrado por: Ryan Ennis

For fans of Rebecca Serle's In Five Years and Nikki Erlick's The Measure, Michael Thompson's romantic magical realism will have you smiling, laughing, crying, and questioning: If you knew when someone was going to die...would you tell them?

Charlie Knight's life was supposed to be spectacular. Instead, he's in his late thirties, and still playing tennis against the same people every Friday night. Still jogging the same streets every morning. Still treating the same patients every day—fixing the high blood pressure and arthritic knees of folks who've known him since he was a kid. But Charlie has a secret plan to escape. A plan to live the life he was destined to, even if the woman he was meant to do it with has left him behind.

But then Genevieve Longstaff comes home, just as something extraordinary happens. Charlie inherits a gift, an insight no family doctor should ever have: an unmistakable sense of the exact number of days his patients have left until they die.

Charlie believes it's a gift. It certainly seems like one—after all, he's using it to help his patients, family and friends make the most of their days: to mend relationships, to travel, to retire. But this gift comes with awful consequences, and soon Charlie realises there are things he doesn't want to know—especially about the girl he still loves.

All the Perfect Days is a story about love, fate, family, and the idea that life doesn't have to be spectacular to be perfect.
