    About this ebook

    The stunning new emotional drama from ebook phenomenon Dani Atkins, author of Fractured - perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes and Dorothy Koomson.

    This is the story of Ally and Charlotte, whose paths have intersected over the years though they've never really been close friends. Charlotte married Ally's ex and first true love, David. Fate is about to bring them together one last, dramatic time and change their lives forever.

    Full of Dani's signature warmth and emotion, this is a gripping and emotional family drama. With breath-taking plot twists, Dani explores themes of serendipity, friendship and love. She fully engages the reader in the dilemmas faced by her characters. What would you do if your husband was the love of somebody else's life? And when faced with an agonising decision, could you put the past behind you and do the right thing?

      “DALE SLIPPED AT the kid’s pond a few days ago and I couldn’t get him up.” There was an air of apology in my dad’s voice, but sitting there at dinner I felt a stab of nausea below my sternum. On this expansive, isolated Idaho plain, no sign exists at

      Ally and Charlotte used to be friends. Ally used to date David who is now married to Charlotte. Charlotte is convinced that David still has something for Ally. One December night both women are in the same relatives room, whilst both their husband are in hospital. Joe, Allys husband is in a coma after falling in frozen water and David needs a new heart.I have had this book recommended to me because I loved Me befor You by Jojo Moyes. I was also told that I would cry. There was nothing as sad as MBY and I was said but didn't shed a tear. I was confident I could read this book, like it, be sad but wouldn't cry. How wrong I was. I have cried through the last seventy pages or so.I could see where this book was going. I put up with the flash backs and the story building. I just wanted to get back into the hospital with the characters to see what was going to happen. The author here has done a very good job of pulling the reader in emotionally. This book pulls on the heart strings more than once.All I can say is go and read this book. Its going to take a while to get the characters out of my head and heart. Just WOW.

      Even though the plot was totally contrived, the author wrote "Our Song" in such a way that it was impossible not to fall in love with the characters and become totally immersed in their lives. I enjoyed the dual narrative shared by Ally and Charlotte, and found that the constant flashbacks enabled this reader to have a deeper understanding of the four main characters. Although only given a secondary role, Jake was central to some very moving moments, and he absolutely won my heart. Heart-warming and heart-wrenching, by the end of this book I was a blubbering mess.
