The Day Before You Came by Matthew Cash

 The Day Before You Came by Matthew Cash is one of those stories that keeps building and building upon itself until it explodes massively into a final conclusion that is so sad and satisfying all at once. 


Niamh and Phillipa have been friends for decades. They have been through so much together. The story starts when they are in school and lean on each other throughout all the bullying and everything else that comes along the way. It progresses up to their adulthood. 


Niamh has a special gift of feeling negative or positive energy. Phillipa has a hard time believing this, until Phillipa buys a house and gets to experience what Niamh has dealt with all her life. 


There are so many connections with all the characters in this story. A did a lot of  “oh my god” after finishing a chapter. A bunch of karma, too!! 


Some trigger warnings though: domestic abuse, suicide, animal cruelty, and mild sexual assault.
