When my grandmother found out she didn’t have long to live, she embarked on a crazy trip—jumping out of airplanes and scuba diving with sharks.
After I repeatedly voiced my concern, Gram blocked me—her own grandson—on text and social media, leaving me only her travel companion Eleanor’s number.
Eleanor started sending me pictures of Gram’s adventures. At first she seemed nice, but when I attempted to persuade her to talk some sense into her friend, she told me where I could stick my advice. After that, photos arrived with snarky comments, and Eleanor and I got into it on more than one occasion.
When I heard Gram’s upcoming plans were more dangerous than ever, I hopped on a plane.
Since I arrived late, I headed to the bar for a drink, figuring I’d surprise her in the morning.
To my delight, I met a gorgeous woman looking for a no-strings-attached night. Nora was just what I needed. She invited me back to her room, telling me to give her a ten-minute head start. But when I went to pay her bar tab, I realized how much she’d had to drink. As much as I wanted to ignore it, I couldn’t. So I stood Nora up.
I knew she’d be pissed, but I also knew I’d never see her again.
Except never came a little early. Namely, the next morning when I went to meet my grandmother and her evil-spinster friend. Because old Eleanor turned out to be young Nora from last night. And if I thought the woman disliked me before, that was nothing compared to how ticked-off she was now. Or how unhappy she was going to be that their party of two was about to become a party of three.

Tonya's Review
5 Stars
This is yet another fantastic stand alone from Vi Keeland. I look forward to these.
This is Beck and Nora.
It did start out Louise and Nora though. But, not the way you may be thinking. This was about their friendship, adventures, and living your life to the fullest and the best that you can.
Louise has terminal cancer. Treatments wouldn't help. This is what they do before she passes away.
Beck is Louise's grandson. He thinks things are too dangerous for her to do since she's old and dying.
There is a twist.
There are parts that had my eyes leaking some.
There are parts that had me worried.
Don't take life for granted. Live it to the fullest like Louise.
This is a great read.
I loved all the characters.
