Andrea has two daughters, Rose and Poppy. They used to be best friends, but something awful happened and this heartbreaking event caused an irreparable rift between them. They haven't seen each other in years and don't even want to be in the same room for one minute. It breaks Andrea's heart that her daughters can't make amends. Andrea is an actress and now that she knows she's dying she uses her abilities for one last performance, she's going to bring her daughters back together. She leaves them the A-Z of Everything. Will Andrea be able to make her daughters see sense?
Rose and Poppy love their mother very much, but their fight has made it impossible for Andrea to spend time with her entire family. They used to have so much fun together and Andrea's last wish is for her daughters to have their closeness back, to be sisters again. With a little help she's trying to achieve something that seems almost impossible before she dies, so her daughters have a chance at happiness afterwards. She leaves them behind with a lot to think and talk about. Will Rose and Poppy make her last wish come true?
The A-Z of Everything is a beautiful emotional story. Andrea is a wonderful mother. She has a warm and loving personality and she is willing to do anything for her daughters. This special woman makes the story sparkle. Even while she's dying she's still vibrant and alluring, she shines until the very last moment, which is something I greatly admired about her. I loved how strong and gorgeous her character is. The same can't be said for her daughters, they let grief and jealousy ruin their lives. Rose is a kindhearted mother, but she's let herself go. She doesn't dream, she doesn't have any plans for the future and she doesn't care about her appearance. I felt sad because of everything she denies herself. Poppy leads an empty life filled with pretense. She's erased her personality and she might look sleek and put together, but she feels empty inside. Debbie Johnson describes their pain and their choices in a fantastic poignant and understanding way. Rose and Poppy are both amazing people, they've just lost sight of what's important. Because of Andrea's A-Z of Everything they are being put on the right track again, which is a fantastic topic for a story.
Debbie Johnson's heartwarming writing style made me love The A-Z of Everything from the start. I'm a big fan of stories about sisters and this is such a great one, she perfectly captures what makes family so important. Andrea and her daughters are hurt and damaged and it's time to heal, which is being done in an impressive and compelling way. I couldn't turn the pages quickly enough to find out if Andrea's plan would actually work and if Rose and Poppy would be able to forgive. Debbie Johnson writes about life, death and living with honesty and empathy. I had tears in my eyes, hope in my heart and a smile on my face while reading this book. The A-Z of Everything is a terrific moving story.
