Book Review | If Tomorrow Never Comes by Allison Ashley
Fate connects two people in life-changing ways in a deeply romantic and emotional novel about hope and second chances by the author of Would You Rather and The Roommate Pact.
Uncertain of what tomorrow brings, Elliott Holland decides to live it up—on the eve of a stem cell transplant to treat her leukemia. It’s destiny when she crosses paths with handsome and charming Jamie Sullivan. The chemistry is magic. So is a beautiful evening that ends with a bittersweet kiss goodbye and no expectations of ever seeing each other again.
One year later, Elliott’s future looks good. Her cancer is in remission. Her career in graphic design is taking off. And she’s finally met Carly, the young woman whose stem cell donation gave Elliott a second chance at life. Then, in a twist of fate both blissful and unfair, she meets Carly’s boyfriend. It’s Jamie, the man Elliott kissed like it was her last day on earth. Neither of them has ever forgotten it.
Now, the most difficult decisions of all lie ahead. Whatever risks there are to the heart, one need wins out: to grab hold of everything that can make someone feel alive again.

How is this my first read by Allison Ashley?! Hook, Line, and Sinker, I devoured this one. I’ll admit, the premise was stressing me out a little bit and was hoping it wouldn’t be such a huge part of the story. But mostly it was just skyrocketing my blood pressure to unhealthy levels, but I digress.
I really loved Elliott and Jamie’s meet cute and how that fated night turned out for them. I could feel their connection and I was just in all sorts of awwwww because it was just all so sweet. I was just as sad when that night came to end and was hopeful for whatever their future held.
Despite my blood pressure, I enjoyed this story and can’t wait to read more by Allison Ashley! I was so immersed into their story and it was so hard for me to put down. This is a fade to black read for my bookish friends that prefer a steamier read, but this will tug on the heartstrings in all the right places.
