Synopsis...
A heart-wrenching debut novel in the bestselling
tradition of P.S. I Love You about a young woman with breast cancer who
undertakes a mission to find a new wife for her husband before she passes away.
Twenty-seven-year-old Daisy already beat breast
cancer three years ago. How can this be happening to her again?
On the eve of what was supposed to be a triumphant
“Cancerversary” with her husband Jack to celebrate three years of being
cancer-free, Daisy suffers a devastating blow: her doctor tells her that the
cancer is back, but this time it’s an aggressive stage four diagnosis. She may
have as few as four months left to live. Death is a frightening prospect—but
not because she’s afraid for herself. She’s terrified of what will happen to
her brilliant but otherwise charmingly helpless husband when she’s no longer
there to take care of him. It’s this fear that keeps her up at night, until she
stumbles on the solution: she has to find him another wife.
With a singular determination, Daisy scouts local
parks and coffee shops and online dating sites looking for Jack’s perfect
match. But the further she gets on her quest, the more she questions the sanity
of her plan. As the thought of her husband with another woman becomes all too
real, Daisy’s forced to decide what’s more important in the short amount of
time she has left: her husband’s happiness—or her own?
Why I Can’t
Wait…
This one looks so warm and heart-felt. Plus it also looks like a tear jerker,
who doesn’t need a good one of those every now and then?

Wow - this one seems so sad! Not sure it's for me, but would be interested to hear if you end up liking it.
