The First Last Kiss by Ali Harris

Recommended Posts

How do you hold on to a love that is slowly slipping away from you? Can you let go
of the past when you know what is in the future? And how do you cope when you
know that every kiss is a countdown to goodbye? This is the story of a love
affair, of Ryan and Molly and how they fell in love and were torn apart. The
first time Molly kissed Ryan, she knew they'd be together forever. Six years
and thousands of kisses later she's married to the man she loves. But today,
when Ryan kisses her, Molly realises how many of them she wasted because the
future holds something which neither of them could have ever predicted...


 

I stumbled across this book last year when I was
looking to see what books were due out for 2013. I loved the sound of it and
was counting the days down until it was available (luckily I only had to wait a
few weeks). I’m so glad I read it. This is one of those books that pulls at
your heartstrings and you are still thinking about long after you read the last
page. I think this is a book to watch out for this year.


It took me a while to get in to and I was worried it wasn’t going to live up my
expectations.  But luckily I wasn’t disappointed ……


It starts with an emotional Molly packing up her
belongings and moving house. It’s quite clear that she is mending a broken
heart.

 

It then jumps from past to present throughout the book
and each new chapter starts with a different kiss that Molly and Ryan have had throughout
their 6 year relationship.

 

By the end you find out what all the different kisses were about and why they are such a strong theme throughout the book. It's cleverly written and not what you expect.

 

I think the main issue is dealt with well and it makes you think. I personally think Ali Harris has done a wonderful job of bringing it to the forefront. It's an issuse alot of pople turn a blind eye to and not take seriously enough. Maybe people after reading this will think twice and in some cases not be so vain!
 

I don’t want to give too much away. Just stick with it.
The book transforms into something completely different and takes a different
route altogether.


 

For anyone who loved ‘Me Before You’ by JoJo Moyes then
I think you will love this. It’s a book about love and not taking life for
granted. Enjoy what you have. If you don’t cry over this book then you must
have a heart of stone. I read this book at work and I sat and bawled my eyes
out. It is one emotional book!!!!!! YOU WILL NEED TISSUES AND LOTS OF THEM!!!!!
