Review by Deb Czajkowski
Ainsley O’Leary, sometimes mistakenly called
Annie, Amy, Abby, Allie, met Eric when she was nineteen and they were both in
college. For the past eleven years (and
counting!) they’ve been building a life together, and now, finally, Ainsley
finds her heart’s desire─ the ring of her dreams─hidden in Eric’s sock drawer. So, yes, the question constantly on her mind
is: On which day will Eric pop the Big Question? Perhaps this isn’t the question she should be
asking?
Kate O’Leary is single and a successful
photographer. For years, dating (i.e., trying to find her perfect match) has
been her second career. After just
celebrating her thirty-ninth birthday, Kate decides to have just one career─photography.
And then she meets─ and marries!─ Nathan. Kate is blissfully married to Nathan ….for
exactly one hundred and two days. Oh, what
a difference a day─just one day─can make!
Nathan Coburn is the beloved son and
brother in the wealthy Coburn family and a very successful architect in his own
right. He couldn’t have constructed a
better scenario for himself than meeting and marrying Kate. And then the unforeseen happens. No one saw this day coming.
Eric “Cancer Chronicles” Fisher has
just beaten testicular cancer─apparently the best kind of cancer to get for its
survival rates. Blogging about his
journey─in way too much detail and
with great liberties taken regarding the facts─is giving Eric notoriety. To
what lengths will Eric go to extend his day in the sun? Could he do the
unthinkable? Could he publicly break up with the woman who has stood by him for
eleven years, the woman who nursed him through cancer? And could he blog about
it?
Jonathan Kent is the publisher of the
Hudson Lifestyle magazine and Ainsley’s boss.
At the office, his nicknames are, to his face, Mr. Kent (indicative of
his formal demeanor) and, behind his back, Clark (as in ever-in-control Clark
Kent). But spend a few days with him outside
the office, and you might just be calling him Mr. Darcy!
Daniel Breton is the name he gives when
introducing himself. Anyone else
introducing him calls him Danny the Hot Firefighter. One day─or perhaps more accurately, one
night─is about to change his life.
Author Kristan Higgins intriguingly
illustrates that a day can make a
difference in each of the lives of her captivating cast in on second thought. Days are tricky that way. One day can be ordinary, another is
extraordinary. One day life is normal,
mundane even. And the next day the
extraordinary hits. The good
extraordinary: amazing, stunning, incredible.
And then there’s the unbelievable, unusual, memorable extraordinary
days─days you wish you could forget but instead your life will forever be
changed by that one extraordinary day.
Each of Higgins’ characters in on second thought is ordinary and
extraordinary, in other words, human. They all have events that have shaped
their lives, shaped the person each has become, guiding them forward in life’s
journey. And the author wonderfully
unfolds the stories of these unforgettable characters. I found on
second thought to be enthralling, starting from page one, and the pages
that followed did not disappoint.
Turn your day into an extraordinary day with a
copy of Higgins’ latest hit. Don’t give
it a second thought; do it today!
