Description

Hadley Jamison is shocked when she hears that her classmate, Archer Morales, has committed suicide. She didn't know the quiet, reserved guy very well, but that doesn't stop her from feeling there was something she could have done to help him. Hoping to find some sense of closure, Hadley attends Archer's funeral. There, Hadley is approached by a man who calls himself Death and offers her a deal. If Hadley accepts, she will be sent back 27 days in time to prevent Archer from killing himself. But when Hadley agrees to Death's terms and goes back to right the past, she quickly learns her mission is harder than she ever could have known. Hadley soon discovers Archer's reasons for being alone, and Archer realizes that having someone to confide in isn't as bad as he'd always thought. But when a series of dangerous accidents starts pushing them apart, Hadley must decide whether she is ready to risk everything-including her life-to keep Archer safe. From award-winning Wattpad author Alison Gervais (HonorInTheRain) comes In 27 Days, a story of redemption, first love, and the strength it takes to change the future.… (more)

This book made me laugh, cry, and smile. I love it when I find books that allows me to experience multiple emotions. I think an author is truly gifted when they are capable of doing that to their readers. It gave off that "feel good" feeling at the end.

Begun and done in the space of a day (or so), but with a message to last a lifetime.

What would YOU do if Death sat down with you for a cup of joe talking about propositions and the opportunity to save a life ended too soon? Would you ask 'where do I sign' or would you shy away? It wasn't a

question for Hadley, despite not really being acquainted with the young man in question. She and Archer had crossed paths once-upon-a-time, but they ran in different social circles, and we all know how high school goes. It doesn't stop her from being any less human and feeling that what transpired was wrong. It doesn't make him any less human that he fell victim to his own weakness when all else seemed lost. Over the course of the next (or rather previous) 27 days, they'll get to know each other better than anyone else knows them...and barely scratch the surface. Will it be enough to change the path of a mind already set? You'll have to read it to see, but trust me when I say, the message is clear...the smallest act of human kindness, the most insignificant seeming of actions we take to reach out to someone today, can actually change their tomorrow.

So grab copy and get cozy in your favorite reading spot. Prepare to meet our leads, their families, and all the drama a life can offer...plus a little from the other side of that coin.
