Put your heart out there.

Take chances.
Make mistakes . . .
Let yourself live.

Clover Brooks has always felt a stronger connection with those at the end of their life than in the middle of it. She dedicates herself to ushering people peacefully though their final days, working as a death doula in New York City. Her client's last words are collected in three treasured notebooks, neatly labelled: ADVICE, CONFESSIONS and REGRETS.

Then she meets Claudia: a woman who has had the kind of life that Clover hasn't dared imagine for herself. But even Claudia has one regret. Now, with only an old love letter, a road map and a leap of faith, Clover begins her first adventure...

A big-hearted story about figuring out what we really want from life - and finding the courage to go after it.

Reseñas de la Crítica

A beautiful, uplifting novel about unexpected friendship, a decades-old love story, and finding the courage to live your best life (Lucy Diamond, author of The Beach Cafe)

I fell in love with Clover and cheered when she finally realised that comfort zones are designed to be stepped out of (Jill Mansell, author of Should I Tell You)

It made me want to pack up my things and move somewhere abroad . . . Beautiful, poignant and the literary antidote to when life feels a little stationary (Jessica George)

Charming, delightful and quietly powerful . . . this will warm your heart and change your life (Veronica Henry, author of Thirty Days in Paris)

This book will be one that I remember for a long time, and it's a story that we can all learn something from (Ruth Hogan, author of The Keeper of Lost Things)

This lovely and sweetly satisfying novel [is] engaging and accessible...Brammer's take on death and grieving is profound enough to feel genuinely instructional

Worth reading

A book worth reading - make you think about death - and living life ... Good insight. Recommend

An emotionally rewarding read

I don’t know how to describe the feelings that this book brought about. It’s funny to think about your own life in terms of how you are living it. Now even though I am nowhere close to death, I actually don’t know when I will die. I think this book came at the perfect time in my life where I seem to not have a solid foundation and I’m still trying to explore who I am to figure out what I wanna do. This book brings up a multitude of questions that are sometimes painful to look at, but would be very rewarding to know the answers to. I sympathise and empathise with Clover, her life was pushed in a direction because of death and grief but then pushed in another direction because of other peoples deaths and overcoming grief. This book was emotionally rewarding but also very saddening. I was recommended this book by the retailer at a bargain bookstore because I was in a book slump and somehow this absolute stranger knew exactly what I needed to read and be the first read of 2026 in order for me to get out of my book slump. Thank you to Tracy for recommending this book to me. This book is definitely a 5 out of 5 star read for me and might be my new favourite book.
