Such a lovely book I couldn't put it down, I laughed and cried and I didn't want it to end. A brilliant debut.

Het boek was heel anders dan ik had verwacht, maar alsnog heb ik genoten van dit verhaal.

Zápletka této knihy mě hodně zaujala, sice to zní trošku jako klišé, ale osobně se s tím v knihách moc nesetkávám. Už od začátku jsem tušila, že si u knihy pobrečím, a to se stalo hned po prvních pár stránkách. Konec mě docela překvapil.

im really surprise i read this book so quickly. i normally read mysteries and memoirs. i saw this book on the new book shelf and thought Ill give it a whirl.

At times the main character drove me bat shit crazy with her personality but overall the writjng was solid. great concept too

"Before You Go is powerful story of love and loss, by debut author Clare Swatman.

When Zoe's husband Ed dies, her world caves in. But what if Zoe can get Ed back?
You find your soulmate . . .
Some people stare love in the face for years before they find it. Zoe and Ed fumbled their way into adulthood, both on different paths - but always in the same direction. Years later, having navigated dead-end jobs and chaotic house shares, romance finally blossoms. Their future together looks set . . .
Then the unthinkable happens.
One morning, on his way to work, Ed is knocked off his bike and dies. Now Zoe must find a way to survive. But she's not ready to let go of the memories. How can she forget all of the happy times, their first kiss, everything they'd built together? Zoe decides she has to tell Ed all the things she never said.
Now it's too late. Or is it?"

Never have I ever read a book so fast. It has had me hooked the whole time!

I was soon in depth with the Ed and Zoe story, I felt like I was living the memories alongside them.

After knocking her self out cold, Zoe is given a second chance to relive her life with Ed, will she change things so the end isn't as drastic?
Every chapter is a important memory the couple share whether its a bad or a good one and Zoe is able to relive it and able to put a different spin on it.

Will Zoe be able to (literally) rewrite history and change the fate of Ed's death or is that out of her hands.

Read to find out:

P.S: If you could change your history, no matter how small or big, would you and why?

Eine herzzerreißende Geschichte, die einem mal wieder ins Gedächtnis ruft, wie wichtig es ist, seinen Freunden und Familie seine Liebe zu zeigen ♡ ich hab am Ende bitterlich geweint und die charaktere waren total toll und authentisch!

A light and refreshing easy-read, Before You Go will make you appreciate things you may often take for granted. After her husband dies unexpectedly, Zoe gets the chance to relive some of the days she shared with her husband, starting from university through to the day he died. Though predictable in parts, I found myself thinking about this book long after I had put it down. The narrative is well written and I connected with Zoe, understanding her need to fully appreciate the extra days she had been given with her husband. A solid 3 stars.
