Review

Shari Low always delivers stories that feel personal, warm, and emotionally resonant—and One More Day of Us is no exception. Told in dual timelines, this novel follows three young women in 1990 living their dream as singers in a Hong Kong hotel, and then revisits them in 2025 as they reunite for the first time in thirty years. The then-and-now perspective was beautifully executed, showing how much life, love, and loss can shape people in very different ways.

While I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and their emotional arcs, there were a few moments that felt slightly predictable, which kept this from being a five-star read for me. Still, the themes of friendship, aging, regrets, and resilience were handled with Shari Low’s trademark warmth and depth. Her ability to write relationships that feel genuine is one of the reasons I keep coming back to her books.

This is a story about remembering who you were, accepting who you’ve become, and embracing the people who’ve loved you through it all. Uplifting, bittersweet, and full of heart, this was a lovely read that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
