About this ebook
'You can't put it down . . . precise and propulsive . . . a real page-turner' Janice Forsyth Show, BBC Radio Scotland
'It's so good it'll leave you wanting to change your own life' Independent
******************
So far in his life, Gabriel - selfish, arrogant and happy to be so - has only ever thought about two things: money and himself. When he's diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour, he doesn't see why anything should change.
But as the tumour grows, something strange starts happening. Whether Gabriel likes it or not, he's becoming . . . nicer. Kinder. A better person.
And then he meets Caitlin. Before, he wouldn't even have glanced at her; now he's entranced. But real change takes time - and time is something Gabriel just doesn't have.
As each day brings him closer to his last, has the one opportunity for a second chance passed him by?

Thoroughly enjoying following this author's writing career. Have loved each of his novels so far. His writing style is engaging and the viewpoints portrayed are humorous and original. Very much looking forward to his next work.

I annoyed my friends by talking non stop about how good this book is while
I was reading it (& for a long time after), if you want one of those books
you get lost in, this is it. All his books are great but this is the best
(so far), would strongly recommend to all.

I really enjoyed this book, it had romance, sorrow, excitement, cunning, basically it has a bit of everything. You literally can't put it down.
