My Review for From Now Until Forever by Rowan Coleman, read by Helen McAlpine and Nathaniel Priestly



“Leonardo hid so many of his secrets in his artwork. My very last hope is that he hid the secret to setting me free…”

I really liked the first quarter of this book—but the rest of it? I absolutely loved it. 💛 It completely blew me away. Magical realism, living forever—quite literally—not what I was expecting at all. 🤯

I don’t want to say too much because that would spoil it… just trust me and read it. 📖

Don’t be fooled—there are some truly heartbreaking moments here. 💔 It isn’t all sunshine and roses. But there are also some beautiful family connections, especially towards the end, and it all balances out so well 🫶

Helen McAlpine and Nathaniel Priestly were brilliant as narrators, 🎧, bringing warmth, love, and sadness to their characters. I was completely invested in their voices from the start.

Honestly—read it, listen to it, I don’t mind—just get your hands on this book NOW! 🔥

A very belated thank you to Hodder & Stoughton Audio and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to and review From Now Until Forever by Rowan Coleman.

About the Book

He's running out of time.

Ben Church has never done anything extraordinary in his life -- until now.

Now, he needs to fulfil as many of his dreams as possible while he still can.

That's why he's standing in front of his favourite painting by Leonardo da Vinci when he should be at work.

Time is all she has.

Vita Ambrose's life of parties and fabulous clothes looks wildly glamorous but in reality it has no meaning.

She's seen too much, lived too much and lost too much.

That's why she's come back to the gallery, to seek solace in her favourite painting.

Together, can they make time stand still?

Ben and Vita's connection is immediate, spontaneous and passionate. But the clock is ticking.

Can they find a way to make their love live forever? Because every moment matters when it might be your last...
