Carrie is a survivor, and if there's one thing growing up with an eccentric mother taught her, it was how to chase her dreams. After beating cancer, things are finally looking up for her. She buys a fixer-upper on the idyllic Lake Traverse with plans to convert it into a bed and breakfast. When her hometown crush, Dax Abram, begins [OL1] to notice her, Carrie is starting to believe that her future is full of hope. Dax is lost and shattered. When the confident, successful, and charismatic basketball player became a widower, he threw himself into being the best single dad possible. His [OL2] daughter, Kylie, kept him going when he lost all hope. Now, he's sworn off relationships, thinking he could never find the happiness he had before cancer ripped his life to shreds. Dax is caught entirely off guard when he starts to notice Carrie in a new way[OL3] . He's known her his entire life, but after losing the love of his life, he can't fathom having feelings for another woman. Carrie and Dax fall into an easy friendship, but they must heal from their pasts if they are to find happiness together.

This novel reminds me of Nicholas Sparks - John Green type of books. Grief. Sickness. Love lost and love found. I do enjoy Leah Omar's version but with each dilly dally, I became a little more anxious to know how it ends! The self-discovery of their own individual fault was very slow indeed, thus added a little depth to the climax of the story. I liked how it ended and glad that it is a HEA one. My rating is 4/5.

SusanLee Thanks to Bronzewood Books and LibraryThing for this reader's copy. I'm glad I have requested for it as The Lives Between Us turns out to be an enlightening and engaging read. 14mo
