This isn’t your typical romance story. It’s more a journey of two people in love who can’t, and won’t, let go of that love.
These characters aren’t perfect, but they represent real people who are dealing with these struggles every day.

After reading this book the first time, and even the second time, I had a major book hang-over and was unable to read anything for days!! This book has all the feels. No Tomorrow addresses mental illness and the effects it has on not only the sufferer, but also their loved ones. This book is steamy hot, unpredictable, sweet, unforgettable, angsty, an incredible love story,… I could go on and on! I highly recommend keeping tissues nearby as you read. I need to take a break now and then for a few minutes when I read No Tomorrow because my emotions get so riled up!
”LOVE YOU LIKE NO TOMORROW”
I have sat here with no words….NO TOMORROW feels like more than a book…it feels real….my stomach was in knots during much of it, because I was so invested in this book….I cried, I laughed…I threw my kindle against the wall and threatened the author…It just doesn’t get better then that!!!
Blue and Piper have chemistry from Day 1, and love soon follows…I’m not re-telling the story, because everyone should get the same experience I did…I promise, you’ll be glad I didn’t…..There are some serious, important issues integral to this story about unconditional love and never giving up….I don’t think the author could have written this book any better…..
I loved this book, and I can’t recommend it enough. That said this book could be a trigger for people who either suffer from or love people who suffer from mental illness. Despite that trigger, which totally bothered me at first, I loved the characters, loved their story and will probably read it again and again.
I’ll start by saying, this book deals with a very NOT TYPICAL romance. It involves homelessness, drug use, mental illness, and heartwrenching love. This book. Lord where do I start without writing my own novel about my feelings for it?! I sobbed.. so.effing.much. This love, this connection, and this heartache are so powerful, and beautifully woven together. I could not put this down, even when my heart was aching and my tissue box was empty.
I feel like this book etched itself into my soul.
Cole writes such wonderfully real stories. People are flawed and love takes work to last. I love the rawness because it makes the love between the characters more fierce.
I never dreamed that this book would be as emotionally raw and hardcore as it was! So listen…I’m a total crier…I cry at books, movies, whatever, I get lost in my emotions, develop feelings for characters, and I’m not embarrassed by it one bit. But I have to say I have NEVER cried while reading a story as much I did while reading this one. Kudos to you Ms. Cole! This book was worth all the wait and more!!
This book broke my heart so many times. It’s tragic, deep, soul crushing. In the best of ways. It tells a story of love, mental illness and addiction. The struggles for the patient and their loved ones. I couldn’t put it down. I was lost in the world of Piper and Blue and all their ups and downs. Haven’t read something this emotionally wrecking in a while and I loved it!
I wish I hadn’t read this so I could read it for the first time all over, well done!!
On a whole, I liked the book. I like that the author tackled mental illness in a way that is both respectable and realistic and didn’t sugar coat it. So my love/dislike relationship with the book still kept me turning the pages to read, even though I had to set it down and come back to it at times to clear my head before it drew me back in.
This book is compelling, heartbreaking and tragic, but inspirational and heartwarming, and when a book can make you feel as much as this one does, it’s like a drug in itself – you can’t force yourself to stop reading.
OMG!! This book… It truly gutted me. The words, the feelings, the emotions that all came out while reading this story. It’s been a long time since I’ve read a book that packed this much punch!
Two people who truly deserve each other’s love and happiness. Yet every time they turn around, something else is thrown in their way. The road these two travel are unpaved, gravel free and full of pot holes.
“There’s a myth that if a man and a woman see a ladybug at the same time, they’ll fall in love.
“No…I didn’t know that.”
“We just looked at yours at the same time.”
“That doesn’t count. It’s a tattoo. It’s not a real ladybug.”
“I guess we’ll find out, won’t we?”
Blue and Piper meet when they are young adults and their story spans over many years. Heartache and Addiction are well known in their relationship. But the one thing that never stops is the love these two have for each other.
When two people love each other, sometimes one has to be stronger than the other. It’s a tradeoff. There’s not a score card. It’s what love is all about.”
That’s definitely the moto here in No Tomorrow! But which one is the stronger? Who is willing to tradeoff because neither are willing to let go of each other.
Blue is a homeless young man playing his guitar in the park for money when Piper first meets him. Totally opposite to what she would have even considered talking to. But when they first converse, Piper realizes that maybe what she has been seeking in a man to be with has been totally wrong for her all along.
Piper made an impression the first time he saw her messing with the sunglasses tangled in her hair. Her tiny, fairy-like features, her office attire, so short how could she see over the steering wheel of her car? Cursing herself to untangle the sunglasses… She’s the most awkwardly adorable chick.
She believed in love, or at least wanted to.
I didn’t.
At least not yet.
Absolutely loved this book! Although I questioned finishing it, I am so glad I did. I was at the point of how much more can these two take…
Better yet, how much more can MY heart take? It’s a rough journey Piper and Blue take us on and what we realize in the end is…
Does the Myth truly exist?
This is a MUST READ book <3

This was a hard read. It will kick you in the chest with it’s angst. I found Blue’s transformation to Evan so fascinating. Piper never gave up him. I found this a trip in to madness, and I truly wondered how it would end. I was scared of the ending actually. But I loved their happy ending!
Writing reviews is never easy for me. I’m always convinced that I won’t do the book or the author justice, this one’s not gonna be any different. I’ll tell you that now. But this one touched me in ways I really can’t describe. It made me think of my own life. Of loved ones that are gone now and some of the struggles they faced. It made me look at my own self in a way I may never have without reading this. I think you’ll find someone you know, or maybe even yourself between these pages. I know I did. And maybe your reading this review and thinking, maybe I’ll click maybe I won’t, but you should. Because if you dont, you’ll never meet Blue or Piper and both of them have been worth knowing.
You won’t want to put it down. A very emotional ride!
Last night I was breathless at 87%. My heart ached as it was torn open by an internal struggle so beautifully portrayed with such care toward the intricacies of a very complex and often frightening reality of loving someone with a deep and powerful metal illness. Pure unconditional love found between two souls that stand the test of time no matter how imperfect they are or how imperfect their love is, they can still find their way back to each other. Once you give your heart away, you never really get it back, but sometimes it comes back to you, even if it’s a bit dented and scratched.
Life deals you the cards you’re given and while some fold and some bluff their way through it, we always hope to end up with the winning hand. This book shines the light on how a wildcard can change the game altogether. Love is not perfect, and who you love is sometimes not the perfect you thought it would be, but it will be what it should be.
Not everyone can get the help they need to fight the demons in their head and more often than not, it’s not a happy ending for them or the ones who love them. This is a story of how loving someone with demons you do not know and cannot see can hurt so deeply, but all you can do it support them in their fight to battle their ghosts. You cant fight for them, but you can love them in a way that may just give them the courage to keep fighting for themselves. But ultimately it is their fight and you can only hope that they choose to fight at all.
This is my first book by Miss Cole and it won’t be my last. Anyone who can capture the depth of despair through the eyes of their loved one is a unique skill. We feel his pain through her pain. But it is her quiet yet unwavering strength that really is the true power of this story. Nicely done Miss Cole, nicely done!
This is the first book I’ve read by this author, so I’m not sure what I was expecting. The blurb jumped at me, and I decided to read it. It was definitely a good book, but totally different than my normal read. This seemed to be more serious, more realistic. Just More. It’s not a read in one sitting type of book, not something that is going to make you laugh. Its an epic, ugly cry, the kind of book that is going to leave you reeling, bring out feelings that you haven’t felt about a book before.
This is the story about Piper, a girl who has a totally normal life. Until she meets Blue. He is a homeless man playing his guitar in the park. There is an immediate connection between the two. But connection isn’t always enough to take things further.
I’m really not sure how to feel about this book. On one hand, it was an extremely well written, engaging book. I enjoyed the story, loved the characters. On the other hand, I felt like the relationship was toxic in some ways. I’m glad I read this book, as it was definitely worth the read, but this is totally not your typical romance novel.
“I love you like there’s no tomorrow.”
The power of love.
The power of the mind.
The power of a ladybug.
Beyond an epic love story is a story about depression, mental illness and the toll it can have on the lives around us. What might seem easy to some, was near impossible for Evan, but Piper never gave up hope. Never gave up on love.
“He’s ignited a spark of intrigue in me, and I don’t think it’s going to extinguish anytime soon.”
As beautiful as they are tragic, Blue and Ladybug will make you believe in soulmates.
This book called to me in so many different ways and had my emotions conflicting and freaking out. OKay the skill is going to be putting it out there without spoilers so work with me here. The truths that come out in this story are a mind blowing holy cow type of thing. There’s part of me the I don’t need this bs that says this woman was weak and stupid and never should have and on and on and on. The part of me that’s a romantic and loyal says I get it and yeah girl stand by your man. The reader in me says I love this author for screwing me all up and doing it well. That’s right your head will spin and you will think poorly of either of the main characters because their entire situation isn’t normal. It’s the kind of thing in real life you would probably do just like her friends do but also not have a clue what you would do if the shoe was on the other foot. Could you would you turn your back on your one true love?
I haven’t read this author before and I almost let this book get lost in my TBR and that would have been my loss. This is a controversial read that I am sure will have a range of reactions. It’s the subject matter and everything else. It’s the kind of book and topic that you will either love or hate. Some will think she’s a weak sniveling sad woman. Others will see the strength it takes to be her. Others will just enjoy the read.
Wow, where to start with this review!! Piper and Blue / Evan’s story, is so much more than the typical love story. This story is heartbreaking and this talented author has done a truly brilliant job in penning this story about a sensitive subject such as addiction and mental illness, and the thin line of spiralling out of control. This story has angst and is raw, gritty, heartbreaking, emotional, and about faith, loss, healing, and unconditional love, and a hauntingly beautiful and powerful read. In my opinion this story is worth so much more than the 5 stars allowed, and I feel that this is this extremely talented authors’ best work to date. Brilliant Carian!!
This book gutted me, and I could not put it down. It’s not an easy book to read due to the serious issues involved, but it was beautifully written and completely compelling. Those looking for an ugly cry with a HEA will love No Tomorrow.
I could not put this book down! People are different in so many ways. But that’s what makes us unique. Piper and Blues’ love for one another is never ending. Their story is one of kind and heartbreakingly beautiful. I believe in fate and soul mates and these two had it in spades. This book made my heart soar and also crushed it like a vice. It was brilliant and filled with so much angst and emotion. This authors words just pull me in and I can never get enough.
