Devastating and Inspiring
Poignant, real, unpredictable. The author doesn’t hold back and walks you through a painful journey while also showcasing the little pockets of joy that can be found amidst tragedy.

How do we cope in a life changing situation?
I loved this book from beginning to end, its written with depth and sincerity and well researched. A very moving and real story. So many parts of the story connected with me and in particular when Emma realised Nathan probably wouldn’t want to end up in a Hospice respite care situation (because I’ve always had that feeling it’s not for me either) and what a beautiful way to leave this world doing something you’ve always enjoyed and the wind and the fresh air blowing on your face. There’s a lot of care, and a lot of love and inspiration in this story, it’s wonderfully uplifting. I could read this story again and I’m sure I’d value it even more. Well done Catherine Miller, I’ll certainly be reading more of her books.

Sweet Story
Nice book. Easy read. The characters were sweet. You never know what or who life throws at you, but making the most of every minute is what I took away from the book. It’s nice to see 2 perfect strangers come together in a devastating time, and be there for each other through their ordeals of illness. I felt the ending was apropos and left me with a good feeling, albeit with some sadness as well.

Wow
I feel this story started out very slow. Hard to get into finally it got to the point I just had to finish because it got super good. It is owe reading.

Good read but.....
It was heartbreaking And the reason why I'm giving it 3 1⁄2 stars is because It kinda gave it away about what was going to happen in the synopsis. So the whole time I was just waiting for the inevitable. I like to characters of Emma and Nathan. The concept was good

This was a book that really makes you think what would you do if your u only had 99 days. Live every hour to its fullest. V

A Read That Will Stay With You
I spent 2 days with 99 Days With You, desperate to reach the conclusion, but not wanting to leave caring, studious, librarian, Emma, and go-getting, life-at-one-hundred-miles-an-hour, Nathan, behind. Their lives converge at a time when their worlds are at threat of falling apart; a time when friendship and understanding are needed, and the thought of a deeper relationship seems impossible.The characters are sympathetic and endearing, full of strength and empathy. The story line is handled with great care and sensitivity, with well placed touches of very light, but very natural, human humour, and the pacing is spot on.Packed with heart and soul, this is a perfect novel, from the cover to the final page. It delivers it all.An emotional, tear-prodding, thought-provoking, heart-warming, life-affirming 5 star read from Catherine Miller, that will leave every reader knowing the hours they've spent in Emma and Nathan's company are up there with their best.

Great read!
Read this book in a flash. It’s a sad story with a little bit of a happy ending. But I was wondering why they were never in need of money to live.
