About the Book:
You can’t have a rainbow, without a little rain…The world has thrown its very worst at Luke recently. So when a stranger narrowly saves him from a fatal accident, it feels like the final straw. But instead, Luke makes up his mind to live his life to the fullest. He’s been given a second chance, and he’s going to make it count– and so he starts by saying yes to everything life has to offer. But when Luke’s new resolve is tested, will he return to his old ways? Or can one fateful moment truly save a life?

Luke Craven is a likable character, idiosyncrasies and all. I enjoyed his journey to owning his life. It was a great story, but a little heavy with the similes, metaphors and analogies. Perhaps that was part of the humor, or just the author's style, but I found it a little distracting. Well worth the time to read it though as I found myself laughing, sighing and even tearing up.

I almost put 3 or 3.5 stars, BUT I thoroughly enjoyed this read. The main character was quirky and an oddball, yet relatable. His daily issues were ones that many struggle with, like family expectations, goals and relationships. The others in his life were likable, even the occasional annoying characters. Was not sorry I requested this from NetGalley.

Thank you NetGalley, Avon Books UK and S.D. Robertson for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an impartial review; all opinions are my own.
