About this ebook
The long-awaited follow-up to the bestselling novel While I Was Sleeping from beloved author Dani Atkins.
'Some endings are inevitable. You see them coming and you prepare yourself for them. Others blindside you.'
Maddie suffers from a rare condition which has put her in a coma twice: the first time for six years, the second for ten. Her truest friends have stood by her hospital bed day after day – her best friend, Chloe, and her landlord, Mitch. But despite their constant presence, the world has spun without her.
Now, finally, Maddie is awake. After so long asleep, can she summon the strength to start afresh, and fall in love with life again?
A beautiful and life-affirming novella for anyone who has ever wondered what they would do with a second chance to find their happy ever after.
