What if you only had one day to convince someone they are your one true love?
Hope and Cameron made a five-year promise before college. Years pass and they never see each other again. But then one month before his planned wedding to Riley, Cameron looks outside and sees Hope in the pouring rain, watching him.
Now, three years later, Cam has one day – a sick day on this last Friday of summer – to convince the one woman whose very existence breaths life into his lungs, that sometimes love like theirs actually does exist, and it’s that kind of love that lives forever, no matter how hard you fight to forget about it and move on.
From the author of non friction and Hope, Sick Day follows one man’s day-long attempt to persuade the love of his life that sometimes it’s okay to break promises if it means keeping the ones that count.
REVIEW
As always, I aim to give an honest review without giving any spoilers ;)
Prior to reading "Sick Day", I had read "Non Friction" and "Hope", so I had become familiar with some of the characters and story lines in this book.
Both of these characters, Cameron and Hope, go through heart wrenching emotions-- and as a reader, they take us along on that ride.
The subject is a "touchy" subject for some, but author Morgan Parker creates an amazing story here, as he also did in his prior works. He's able to make the reader "experience" the story, and thus make us see where the characters' decision-making stems from.
This is definitely an emotional read. There is humor too, though, so you'll get some breaks from the teary moments ;)
I highly recommend this book. Once I started reading it, I found myself so hooked that I had a hard time putting it down to get sleep.
Five stars, incredibly well-deserved. Bravo, Mr. Parker.
Another "favorite" added to my list :) <3

Morgan Parker is the pen name for a shy and introverted former banker. Because he could never balance his cash at the end of the banking day, he made up stories in order to keep his job. None of those stories was Textual Encounters, which is great because readers will discover a truly unique and original romance that has never been told before.
