Better days is an enjoyable and well written story, we follow our main character through simultaneous timelines of her university days ans the present as we see how she got to be the woman she is now, in comparison to the girl she was.

Better Days follows Grace’s journey across two timelines—her past at university and her present in 2022. After being stood up at the airport by her first love, she makes a spontaneous decision that changes her life in unexpected yet successful ways.

While the dual timelines add intrigue, the frequent jumps can be frustrating. Still, the story is beautifully told, focusing on family, love, and doing your best. There are some mental health themes, but the book isn’t agenda-driven—it simply tells Grace’s story, and it does so well.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book.

As a young person I really enjoyed this book. It made me feel like Uni and relationships are not the end of the world. Will definetly be buying a physical copy and reading again.

This book was different, it followed the past and the current times throughout the story, but jumped between each often. The main character Grace is the main focus, so while we know where her story is going, we also read how it got there. The jumping around frustrated me at times as it was all over the place. That said the writing was very descriptive the whole way through..

Better Days tells the story of Grace, unfolding across two timelines: the present and her past. After being stood up at the airport by her first love, Grace makes a spontaneous decision that changes the course of her life, leading her in a completely unexpected—yet successful—direction.

The past timeline was particularly compelling, offering insight into the choices and events that shaped Grace’s future. The alternating timelines added a layer of mystery, making the story more engaging than if it had been told chronologically.

I was a bit underwhelmed with the ending, I wanted something a bit more. That said, overall it was still an enjoyable read.

I was given a d-ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This book is what I've been waiting for. A good story well told.
Told in two parts one starting from Grace being at university and one from 'now' (2022) so we know where it is going the whole time, and it's all about the journey. Which is sometimes unexpected, but never twisty. It's just a delightful story about family and love and doing the best you can. There is a little bit of mental health stuff as well, but this isn't a book that sets out with an agenda. it's aim seems to be to tell Grace's story, and that it does.

And the ending! I'm not going to give anything away, but I will say that I thought it was perfect, other's may not. Read it and see.
