ARC received via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. 
 The Life Intended is a heartbreaking tale of coping with loss and accepting that, unfortunately, life doesn't always turn out the way that you've planned. It's also a great reminder that people deserve to be truly happy and should never settle for happy enough. 
 Kate and Patrick are newly married and have their whole lives ahead of them. All of this changes when tragedy strikes and Patrick dies in a car accident. Now, twelve years later Kate is still struggling with the loss of her husband and the life that she was supposed to have. Attempting to move on, she becomes engaged to a man who is seemingly perfect for her. However soon after becoming engaged, Kate begins to experience very vivid dreams that detail the life that she and Patrick would have had, if he had lived. Convinced that the dreams contain some message, Kate begins to reevaluate whether the path that she is currently on is the one that she's intended to be on. 
 The book was well written with characters that I was able to connect with. Overall, I enjoyed the book very much.
