Book Review: For One More Day

For One More Day is by Mitch Albom (author of Tuesdays With Morrie).

I saw this book while grocery shopping Saturday and decided to bring it home (purchased, of course).

I absolutely LOVED this book. It's a very short read but worth it. This is the kind of book you keep on your shelf forever and reread lots and lots of times.

I related to this story so much. This book is about what you would/could do if you had one more day with someone you have lost. My grandfather passed away unexpectedly and I would love to have another conversation with him and mend old wounds. I also relate to the divorce situation of the main character. My parents split when I was ten (Chick - main character - was 11). My Dad just kinda left out overnight like Chick's (there's way more to my story but that is what happened in the short and sweet version). I relate to the way he acted and treated his mom, I wish I could get those days back and make it right.

Anyhow, whether you are a child of a divorced family or not, this book is for you. It will make you want to cherish the time you have and love more deeply, be more open and it will also bring you to the verge of tears - maybe even cry

As a side note, I love Good Reads, and I love Gilmore Girls (except the last season). I just found a book club on Good Reads called The Rory Gilmore Book Club. FABULOUS! I totally joined! I also found this website with a list of books Rory read in the episodes. FABULOUS! I'm totally stoked - can you tell?!?!
