WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING

"Moving, emotional and immensely uplighting. This is Carey's finest work to date. She really outdid herself writing Better, and from the very first page, you can see her soul shining through. This is a book that pulls you in from the beginning, gutting your heart and piecing it back together again bit by bit. ~ J L Berg, 5 stars


"Carey Heywood had me laughing, crying, yelling at the book and falling in love with the characters." ~ Amazon reviewer, 5 stars



"Better is a very emotional and poignant book that delivers on so many levels. I can’t praise this book enough. It is just splendid, heartfelt story that was flawlessly written and had me hooked on it more and more with each next page." ~ Amazon reviewer, 5 stars


** inspired by actual events **


Aubrey is embarking on a bucket list trip around the world, the last wish of her Aunt Ally. It was supposed to be the trip Ally would take when she got better. Now it's just a chance for Aubrey to say goodbye.



Adam escapes in his solo trips overseas, working just enough to fund the next one. When the opportunity to circle the globe falls in his lap he can't refuse. The only catch, he won't be traveling alone this time.



Unable to hide from each other Adam's overprotective nature thwarts Aubrey's desire to find her own way. Can they move past initial assumptions to find something better?





 









After losing her aunt/best friend to cancer Aubrey is totally devastated with no way or idea how to move on or what she wants to do with life. She gets a shock from beyond the grave when her aunts will is read and she discovers Ally left her some money and one final wish. 
To travel the world and visit all the places Ally would have if she has gotten better they made a "Better" board with pictures and details of all those places now Ally wants her to visit those places without her parents to find her independence and figure out her life. 
Her parents her father in particular is not happy with his little girl (well not so little Audrey is 24)  travelling around the world on her own so he comes up with a compromise, but no one expect the impact it would have on Audrey's life. 
  
This story is beautiful with the heartaches of reality woven throughout with the intention of showcasing just how short and fragile life is and that we need to take it by the horn and live everyday like its our last. life is just too short for all the bullshit and playing games. 
The story had me captivated it is well written and sweet as pie, touching and uplifting The flow is easy and mellow.  
Its all good and well reading a nice steamy romance  but its so much more important to have ones that has elements of real life and a positive message behind it. 
This story is unique, emotional, fun and a whirlwind of different experiences from all around the world. Each place they visited I felt I was there right along with them.
Carey Heywood is a very special lady to pour her heart and soul into print like she has done her bold spirit and bravery its to be admired and I hope more people follow her lead. she is an awesome author we need more positive message.  
For the message it conveys I give Better a solid beautiful 4 stars.
