The night before her life-altering stem cell transplant wasn't supposed to be anything memorable. Elliot Holland promised her best friend, and more adventurous half, that she would explore the scene of Omaha, NE, but, to be quite honest, Elliot had expected to have a subpar drink at a bar, and then make her way back to the hotel where she would spend her last night of freedom (for a while at least) alone. What she didn't expect was to meet Jamie Sullivan.

They didn't promise each other more than that night, and when Elliot left him sleeping outside, she never expected to see the surprisingly charming and funny man again. But neither forgot the other, and both hoped to find each other again some day.

One year later, and Elliot has officially moved to Omaha; her cancer is in remission, and she is ready to start living her life again. However, after meeting her stem cell donor and integrating herself into her friend group, the last persons she expected to see was Jamie-- this time, as her new friend's boyfriend.

Warm and heartening, IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES is a surprisingly touching story about two people and their second-chance at love. Perfect for readers looking for their next emotional rom-com, especially if you love a hefty dose of pining with your happily ever after.
