"Never Leave Me" by Jody Hedlund

Ellen Creighton doesn't know what to believe about the events surrounding her father and sister Marian, which we read about in Come Back to Me, but she knows she doesn't want anything to do with their quest for the ultimate cure. She's made peace with the fact that her genetic disorder combined with a more recent cancer diagnosis will cut her life short. Living now is more important than losing time seeking what may never come to pass.

Harrison Burlington, however, is a little more desperate. He's loved Ellen for years, though he hasn't wanted his own disabilities to slow down the fast pace at which she was living. But time is running out. How can he convince Ellen to believe in the ultimate cure? And if she does, how might that affect the charity work she's given her life to?

Follow Ellen and Harrison on their breathtaking journey. This time-crossing novel will keep you glued to the pages as you race to see what will happen next, and whether the ending will be happy or hold tragedy. No spoilers from me!

I found this book to be a little harder to follow where the time-crossing and its ramifications were concerned, but I still enjoyed it very much and hope there's a third book in this series to tie everything together. If you enjoy contemporary and historical stories with a dash of science fiction and corporate intrigue, jump into Never Leave Me and come along for the ride.

I received my copy of the book from the author. All thoughts in this review are my own.
