Synopsis
It’s supposed to go like this. Boy meets girl, they fall madly in love with each other, battle some shit in their way, and after conquering the challenge, they ride off to their happily ever after.
But, not one fairytale, or love story tells you that after that ride, life happens. We had our story, and we were supposed to live happily in our bubble forever. After one check-up, our bubble burst and reality started to invade. And now, facing the unsure road of IVF treatment, we have to be stronger than ever. Once again, we must go into battle for our happily ever after. Taking that first step was easy. Staying on this road is harder than we thought.
And now, with unexpected obstacles in the way, it’s not a question of if the IVF will succeed. It’s will we be strong enough to stay together and reach for the stars?
@Ana ? I have a friend that would love this! It sounds like her life story. Will recommend to her

If you like dogs, Timbuktu by Paul Auster. I don’t remember reading a book by him having a happy ending.
11/22/63 by Stephen King. One (if not the only one) of his most moving endings written by him.
@Raul yes! It is such an emotional journey. Even little things like when he first comes to Derry and who he encounters, just warmed my heart to no end.
11/22/63 is an exquisite piece of writing. Well-documented, moving and powerful at the same time. I buddy-read it with my wife and some workmates over a summer holiday some years ago. Taking our time to enjoy it made of it an unforgettable reading experience.
The Body by Stephen King. It’s the story stand by me is based on. It’s touching, coming of age, and something I think just about anyone can relate to.
